“Venice”

“Venice”

Oil on Wood, 6” x 8”

Yet another revisitation of an old painting. I loved bringing out the highlights, showing that warm wonderful Italian sun. This was from a show I did with Lavinia Wiggins called “Postcards,” about places we’ve been or wanted to have been. I still would like to go to Venice!

There is actually this little shed that has been painted by so many people that it is considered the Number 1 painting motif in the United States. It is in Rockport Massachusetts, and there is a Wikipedia article about it, just google the title! This is an older painting but it needed work.

“Shed at Fred’s“

“Shed at Fred’s”

Oil on Canvas, 11” x 14”

I kept coming back to this image because of the cool fish painted on the bright side of the glowing white shed. So glad I’ve finally tackled it! I’m happy with the water, and I did reduce the paraphernalia in the background, masts, boats and other marine accoutrements, in order to enjoy the trees!

We sometimes go boating with my brother in law.

Being from a Chicago suburb with no boating experience I didn't get it at first.

But when we go floating down the Columbia there is nothing as peaceful!

"Peekskill Homes by the Hudson"

"Peekskill Homes by the Hudson"

Oil on Canvas, 10" x 8"

I started this, then abandoned it for a horizontal format.

So a year later I'm returning to this original painting.

I love the road leading past these houses glowing in the sun

and ending up by the lovely Hudson River.
