Michigan Farm

Michigan Farm
9 x 12 inches
Oil on wood panel.

Recently, when I was back in Coldwater, Michigan for a visit, my sister, Robin Walling, and I drove around to find scenes that I might want to paint. It was cloudy at the time, but this barn appealed to me. It is at the corner of Bell Road and Hayner Road, north of Girard.

Face to Face

6 x 6 inches

Oil on wood panel

This is based on a photo I took in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. I liked the way it looked as if they were gazing into each other's eyes.

Monument Valley

18 x 24inches

Oil on canvas

Monument Valley is a remarkable place. When you visit, it will stay with you forever. The vastness of it is incredible and that sky, well, it takes your breath away. One of the interesting things we noticed is that the white clouds had a red cast to them on the bottom, from the reflection from the ground. When I got home, I just couldn't get the vision of this place out of my mind. This was a joy to paint.

Decorah Eagle

Decorah Eagle
8 x 10 inches
Oil on wood panel.

This is my tribute to the Decorah eagles.

For the past months, I have been watching daily as the eaglets have grown from the little balls of feathers that emerged from their eggs in early April, to the large flying eagles they are today. As they learn how to hunt and perfect their flying skills, they are still hanging around the nest in Decorah, IA. To see the web cam, click here: http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles

There is nothing more magnificent than seeing an eagle in flight. As John Denver put it, "I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an Eagle fly, Rocky mountain high..."
