"Peace Lily"


I took a photo of this in the springtime, and just got around to painting it. For the various background greens, I mixed the colors rather than use greens out of the tube. Wow! What a difference it makes. They have a much richer quality to them. It's hardly discernible in this photograph, but in the flesh, the colors are more saturated. Painting is an ongoing series of lessons and discoveries, that's for sure. (Actually, I custom mixed the colors for the flowers as well, since there wasn't anything that came close from the paint tube.)

"Fire Truck"

  An old fire truck I found at the Henry Ford Museum. Pretty cool looking. 

  • "A Sliver of Sunshine"
      Here's our cat Lizzie, on the landing catching a bit of afternoon sunshine. 
  • "Pavo"
    This is the resident cat at the Belle Isle Conservatory. He's an excellent mouser,  a friendly soul, and a handsome devil to boot.   
  • "The Rage"
      This is a self-portrait depicting the outrage I feel about the recent presidential election. I've thoroughly given up on this country....
