Boats in Harbor

                                                                      The Painting

                                                                    The Inspiration

I have a lot of photos of our vacations and when I'm out of ideas I brows through them to see if there's a scene I can translate into a painting.  This photo was taken last year on a harbor cruise out of Alexandria, Verginia.  I might be able to get another one out of this photo. We'll see.

Along The River

Oil on canvas. This is my latest Palette knife painting in the impressionist style. I like experimenting with different ways to paint. It makes my art interesting and challenging.
This is from a photo I took on our trip through Paris last spring. It shows the tip of the little island in the middle of the Seinne River that holds that great art museum The Louvre.
