This is part of my newest series inspired by the fishing lures I remember from my youth. All original paintings are oil or acrylic on a 6"x9" wood panel.

LURES

I've started a new series that I hope  will reflect my connection with where  I live. The Great Lakes region has been home for most of my life and this new series is drawn from childhood memory.  Fishing is a fact of life here, and the tools of the trade are more often than not, visually appealing (tiny works of mass produced art).

Yea, It's 2014 for whatever thats worth
I need to get posting again so heres something new

Dairy Twist

Cloud 3

Another  sky. I ask myself," why does a particular area of sky become a gathering place for water molecules?"

Something a little more humorous, after studying
