Strauss in the garden

I painted at The Cleveland City Greenhouse last week with friends. It was warm, humid and tropical in there. I found this old sculpture tucked in the corner and decided to paint it.

The Bell Tower revisited

We actually saw the sun this weekend, so I went to paint this scene over with some punched-up color. I'm pretty happy with it; I think I may regret the upcoming warm weather. I find that snow painting is addictive.

The Doyle Road bridge

The temperature shot up to 40 dgrees today, so out I went to paint. I got so warm I ended up removing a layer of clothing while painting this bridge.

The Riverdale Road bridge


This bridge is in Rock Creek, Ohio, and was restored in 1981.It's nearly impossible to paint in the summer because the leaves obstruct the view.

In the Shadow of the Nuke


This local historic farm sits within a half mile of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The steam column was killing the shadows, so I waited until the wind changed to paint the colorful old barn..

Fire Mission

I painted this from a photo I took nearly 40 years ago. It features friends from Gun #6, Charlie Battery, 3/16th Field Artillery, near Chu Lai in Vietnam.

On Sugar Hill Road


This house was next door to the inn where Snowcamp I was held.

Amish cornfield

I painted this in Middlefield, Ohio, just before the first snowfall.

Mt. Lafayette

I painted this at "Snow Camp" in New Hampshire recently. Temperature was about -5 *
