Here's what I have on my studio easel. It's 20" x 32".

I painted out on Sunday near my house. This is just off the road in Becks Preserve, where I've painted a number of times. I need to remind myself to pack in bug repellent. The gnats were nasty, but at least there weren't mosquitoes! I was really drawn to the abstract shapes and how this guided the eye around and through the painting.

This weekend was beautiful. Slightly cloudy and WARM. I worked on my wood sculpture in my garage on Saturday and painted outside on Sunday. This is a spot I've passed by many times, a lot next to a fire station. You never know where you'll find inspiration. Often, it's right in your backyard!

Copperas Street

Here's a painting from my trip to Manchester, England from April 7 - 14th. Needless to say, it was wet and cold, not my favorite working conditions. I was there on a business trip with my PHA partner, Frank. We were determined to get in some painting. We painted in Manchester, Liverpool and in Heaton Park. This is the best of 3 paintings of a street corner in Manchester.
