"Red. Buds."

 

Saw this interesting cactus while visiting my daughter in California. 

I love the fact that the buds on a green cactus were this bright red color. 

"West Warren Ave. Bank"

 

Another classic old bank building. 

"Crescent Sail Sunrise"

 

Another dramatic sunrise over Lake St. Clair. Thank you Molly 

for getting up so early to capture and post this scene!

"Unidentified Objects"

 

A beautiful scene from a very entertaining sci-fi flick. I highly recommend looking for it 

if you're in the mood for something a bit different. 

"Rhubarb"

Spotted these at our local farmer's market. 

I had no idea rhubarb came in other colors. 

 

"Fall Colors"

There was this huge crate of gourds the last time I visited Costco. I thought it would make a perfect fall painting. Not sure I was successful in doing the shading, especially on the lighter ones. 

Need to work on that. 

 

"Glazed & Confused"

 

Spotted this tasty offering at Kroger's a few weeks ago. It was a little challenging doing dark chocolate doughnuts on a dark tray. But I think it turned outlay. 

"Mack Ave. Sunset 9/27/24"

This was one of the most spectacular sunsets I've seen in a long time. It was actually even more intense about ten minutes earlier. I was sitting in out tv room when I noticed the entire sky was bright orange. I grabbed my phone and headed down the street to document it. By the time I got there, this is what it looked like. Still pretty dramatic!

 

"Fenkell-Fairfield Bank"

 

Another in my series of paintings documenting the old banks of Detroit. 

"See. Food."

 

Another depiction of some sushi. I actually did some more work on the painting, 

so the final version looks a little different. But I'm too lazy to reshoot it.
