A few years ago we visited Finland and north of Helsinki we visited a historic artists colony. I snapped a photo of a lake just as someone in a canoe came into view, past some scupltures of birds. My latest painting, “The Wind on the Lake”. Oil on Canvas. I have been experimenting with minimalism and paint texture recently. 22 x 22 inches.
“Garden Greetings: Have you met my son?” Oil on Canvas 24 x 24 inches. My artist’s guild is having a show based on the history of the area in conjunction with their historical society. I looked at some old garden photos from the historical society and created this imaginary scene, using some of their garden elements and a color palette and styles from the 1930’s.
