My favourite one is "Takin' it to the street" but "Two Shoe Blues" and "Lost Coat" are close

with fresh eyes, seeing something beautiful everywhere, even if I was just looking at a manhole cover.

It's a treat to see the world through your eyes via your paintings.

You just never know where you'll find a painting! Being an artist really opens up the world to infinite possibilities. (If that makes any sense.)

to behold. Do you ever show any of your paintings to your neighbors?

I appreciate your studies of lighting on walls, houses, fences and trees. Your blurbs are appreciated and very interesting, especially when seen as a trend. Your Christmas decoration paintings are part of this trend since they’re all part of night lighting and artificial lighting.

I’m happy that you share these painting periods with us. It really is a reflection of one more aspect of Americana that I’m sure we all experience. It’s the small things we tend to forget about because it’s easy to take it all for granted.

I like the adventure and the reminders that your paintings do!

every day! The colors in the sunset are gorgeous; but I must admit I really like the church best. Great painterly style and earthy tones with the upward view angle make the church appear very grand indeed.

I'm starting on a whole series of churches. The Detroit area has a ton of beautiful old ones! So check back on my blog from time to time.
