"Fossils #6-#10"

 

"Fossils #1-#5"

 

I've been fascinated by fossils since I was a kid. I still have a box of them somewhere around our house. 

I love doing series of paintings, so I decided I'd to one of a bunch of fossils. Here's the first installment. 

"Canal Zone"

 

A night shot done in acrylics. After doing this painting, I really had the urge to hop on a plane and head to this magical city and spend a couple weeks there, painting my head off! 

"Mountain Time"

 

One more in my series of mountains. It's from an image I downloaded from the interwebs,

so I don't know what mountain it actually is. 

"Venetian Nocturne"

 

Thought I'd try doing a watercolor of a night scene of my favorite city!

"Skull-duggery"

 

This was on the front step of my younger daughter's front porch. 

My brother found it ages ago and he must have given it to her. 

"Merry Olde #4"

 

I just love the Cotswolds. This is another one in my series of the English countryside. 

"Mount Something"

 

Another one in the series. I couldn't find a name for this peak, so I gave it a generic name. 

If anyone out there knows what the mountain is, feel free to email me!

"The Great Basin"

 

While visiting my youngest daughter in CA, we visited the Pasadena Historical Museum. It's a beautiful old mansion, with everything just like it was 80 years ago. In the kitchen pantry, I saw this interesting scene. When this was done, it reminded me a little of something by Edward Hopper. 

"Fleurs du Soliel"

 

I was going to paint this scene realistically, but I decided to do a loose study of it first. 

And I was surprised at how it turned out. I may just leave it at that!
