LilyPads
8 x 10 
Oil on wood panel.


This one was based on a photo of lily pads in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan last September. I loved the blues and the reflections in the water.

The View Through the Doorway


The View Through the Doorway
12 x 16 inches
Oil on wood panel.


For years I have been a fan of the artwork of Jack Vettriano, so I decided I would do a painting influenced by his style.  A UK photographer Satyruk2000  http://satyruk2000.deviantart.com/ graciously allowed me to use his wonderful photo as the inspiration for this painting. I've photographed this painting over 100 times trying to get the colors just right. It is still not perfect, but close.
