Burning Leaves

Fall is really in the air here in Indiana. Can you smell the leaves burning?

Thumbs Up Club

watercolor 14 x 21

Right now I am working on a series of paintings for my friend's (Linda and Fred) restaurant. It is called Carriage Court Pizza. They have great pizza, sandwiches, soups and Italian dishes. You must go and try them out. They are in Crown Point Indiana. Tell them I sent you.
They have a club called the "Thumbs up club." It is for children and as a member. they get deals of their meals. They also get an id card and their photo hangs at the restaurant. So this is a "thumbs up kid." I think he likes the pizza.

Nature's Kaleidoscope

watercolor 14 x 21

Yes, it is fall in Indiana so here are some of our leaves. This painting was done with a lot of negative painting. I love to do this technique...I can get lost in it. Unfortunately, you are not seeing all of the neat colors or the lost and found edges in this photo. Maybe I will shoot it again when I have time...Time? what is that?
Enjoy!!

I liked the light on the buildings, especially the awnings. Then I noticed all of the bikes. Thought ... let's paint it. Keep the memory. Enjoy!

"Old Town" Chicago

watercolor 14 x 21

There is a section of Chicago called "Old Town" I remember going there years ago so I had to take some recent photos. I do not remember this big wrought iron structure.

I am trying to paint looser, but this was a complicated subject so I didn't get as loose as I wanted to get. I will keep trying. But it is getting looser. lol
