I used a photo from our trip to Burano, Italy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burano as the source for this painting. Burano is a quaint village that is famous for fishing and lace making.
This took a really long time to paint. I felt relieved by the time I finished so I could move on to a new subject. My favorite element is the clothing on the line.

Again, the Broadmoor http://www.broadmoor.com/ is the subject du jour. The property has so many vistas and details that I would love to paint. I could paint that property for weeks and still find variety and inspiration.
This is a close-up of a window. I took the original source photo for this photo using the telephoto lens on my camera to get a good close-up shot of this window detail on the main building. I like the original photo, and I like the painting even more.

This is one of my all-time favorite paintings. After a stay at the Broadmoor http://www.broadmoor.com/, I was inspired. You can still see the quirks in the painting (sloping roof lines, shadowing isn't perfect) but it still looks somewhat photographic. This is one of the works that really makes me look at the painting and say "I was here"... which is the goal in most of my work.
