A look at Waiting

 

When time stands still

Sometimes I go through older photographs of landscapes I have taken to se if anything pulls me in. Waiting was one of those inspirations. The image is from Door County, Wisconsin. I was drawn into this image by how quiet it felt and honestly it was a bit of respite because my life was in upheaval at the time. It was named by my friend M. Szalai-Raymond who came over when I was working on the painting. We both had been reflecting that although a lot was going on in our lives we were also in the process of waiting for so many other things. The landscape seemed to be saying the same with hay bales and a change of seasons on the way.

This painting is available, you can find it on my Saatchi page. 

A look at Reunion

 

Reunion: "coming together again after a period of separation"

Reunion is an artwork I created after a group hike in Wisconsin. I took a photo of this farm because I loved the view and the way the road came along the barn and continued on. 

This painting is for sale, you can find it on my Saatchi page. 

A look at Passage

 

A hidden view on a hike.

A while ago a group of us set out on a hike near Lake Geneva, WI. The hike went along an old railroad line whose tracks had been removed and gravel for the path replaced it. The path had trees on both sides so when the trees cleared we would get glimpses of fields and farms along the way. Passage was inspired by one of these clearings. I was struck by how green the earth looked as well as the simplicity and beauty of it all.

A look at Grandpa's Land

 

The quiet meadow on a sunny day,
a moment to breathe and relax.

Grandpa's Land is an original painting I created after a road trip in Wisconsin. This is from a photo I took between Lake Geneva and Kenosha.

Grandpa's Land has been sold. However, large prints, small prints and note cards are available on my Etsy site.

A look at Big Blue Sky

The summer breeze, on a quiet day.
A perfect time to breathe and relax.

Big Blue Sky was inspired by a picture I took while on vacation in Door County, Wisconsin. The image is looking across the water from Sturgeon Bay. The view was so peaceful. And although there were plenty of boats on the water that day, I had captured only one boat in my photo. There was something about the quiet water and the single boat that I wanted to share in a painting.

The original painting can be bought on Saatchi.
