"Lettuce Entertain You"

A loose painting of a bunch of lettuce at the Eastern Market. 

 

"Be Fruitful"

 

Noticed this beautiful bowl of fruit my wife prepared for my grandson's birthday. 

I couldn't help but commit it to canvas. 

"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry-2"

 

A second scene from the movie.

"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry-1"

 

A watercolor inspired by a scene from a remarkable movie. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. One of the best movies I've seen this year. And I've seen a lot of films, believe me. 

"The Shed"

 

I used to do guided tours of Belle Isle in old Ford Model As for the Antique Touring Company. Here's a watercolor of the shed we used to operate out of. It's located in the historic Ford Piquette Plant where Henry Ford first produced the Model T. Beautiful old building that was saved from the wrecking ball by a group of preservationists with a vision! 

"St. Anthony Cathedral"

 

Another beautiful old church. I had no idea there was a huge cathedral hidden 

just a few blocks off the main drag--Gratiot Ave. on the east side of Detroit. 

"Belle Isle Magnets"

 

Three of my paintings are now fridge magnets

 and are for sale at the Belle Isle Aquarium gift shop!

"Pine-apple of My Eyes"

 

Spotted these at our local Kroger's and thought they'd make a handsome painting!

"Sticks & Stones"

 

Visited Joshua Tree National Park last Spring. I took a ton of pix, 

so if I ever run out of things to paint (not likely), I can always dip into the vault for inspiration!

"The Happy Tree"

 

Happened to catch this interesting tree while visiting my daughter in LA last Spring. 

And yes, it really did look like a smiling tree!
