Chicago El

6" x 8" (15.3cm x 20.3cm), oil on canvas board
$125 USD (+ $5 S/H)

This is based on a photo I took in Chicago right outside the front door of my hotel. I was so happy to finally catch the "El" just as it was turning the bend. I must have tried at least 6 or 7 times to get it at that exact spot!

This is a old springhouse by the side of a pond near my house. This scene seemed to me like time was standing still. Namaste.

Not Yet

6" x 8" (15.3cm x 20.3cm), oil on canvas board
SOLD

This hazy summer scene is unfortunately becoming less common in the region where I live due to "suburban sprawl". Hopefully this lush country field won't be littered with "McMansions" in 10 years...they seem to be popping up like mushrooms. Maybe that's why I felt the need to capture this unspoiled scene while I could!

Tree of Life

48" x 48", oil on canvas
SOLD

Just finished this commissioned painting based on the "tree of life" concept. It took a couple of weeks to complete. I'm really thankful for this suggestion because it's a subject I probably wouldn't have thought of on my own. I like the idea of showing the seen and the unseen parts of the tree together so you see the whole organism as a living entity. And because I love the abstract lines and shape of trees this design works both from a composition/design point of view and as a metaphor for all life on Earth. This was commissioned for a newly engaged couple who share my passion for nature and the environment, which makes this piece very special to me...(did you spot the two little birds?)

August Afternoon

6" x 8" (15.3cm x 20.3cm), oil on canvas board; SOLD

Spotted these cows under the only shade tree in a large field while riding my bike last summer on a very humid day. I stopped and took out my camera to capture the stillness of the scene and for a few minutes they watched me watch them.
