Little Fishing Boat

I saw this little boat in Hayle, England and couldn't figure out what a small boat with a winch could be used for. (How about a small boat with a wench..) I'm guessing the winch is used to pull up the nets.(?) If any body knows please tell me, I'm curious.
This is an oil painting on a canvas panel 8"x10"
If interested in purchasing it contact me... Sorry, it's been SOLD

Bird In A Boat

I saw this gull who had taken charge of a little row boat and couldn't resist painting him.

Cafe In Paris


The waiters in Paris are quite distinguished and very professional. They all wear white shirts, bow ties, black slacks and shoes, a black vest and white apron under the vest. Very sharp. This is my impression from our trip through The City of Lights.

Netherland Windmills

There really are windmills in Holland and they actually pump water through the canals. The ground water is about six inches below the dirt, very wet. The whole area is amazing and beautiful.
Debi and I had a fantastic trip to Germany, France, England and the Netherlands. I took lots of pictures and will be using them for inspiration in the few months.

Things That Fly

I did this as a study for a mural I was going to paint on our grand baby to be's new bedroom wall. Our daughter changed her mind and decided on another painting I did of Jack and the Beanstalk. I think amural would have been fun to do, but I still have this little watercolor.

Sita Sings the Blues


This is an absolutely brilliant indie film by Nina Paley free for the watching at
http://www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13/blog/watch-sita-sings-the-blues-online/
The color and design is beautifully done and the animation is a delight with music by Annette Hanshaw who was a blues singer from the 1920's. This is a must see.
