Reflection demo for one of my classes

One of my students was having some trouble with reflections so I tried to simplify it for her by doing a little quick demo.

Indiana Ruins

landscape

There are many beautiful old barns in this area of Indiana....So then you use a photo of an old wagon that you shot at another farm, change the season and colors and you come up with a totally different scene.

Changing Ties - R-Crane

The CEO of R-Crane bought this as soon as he saw it...Thanks Paul.  He invited this process of how to change rails on train bridges....I can't imagine how he designed all this equipment.  I was fortunate enough to go on sight to view this.  Really amazing.  I have an open invitation to come anytime they are changing rails on bridges to draw and photograph. I will wait till it is a bit warmer.

Typical dwellings of Chicago.  I would love to see what these homes look inside.  There is definitely NOT enough yard for my gardens....and there is NO where to park.  But I love the city.

Glass at the Pier

watercolor
13" x 17"
cityscape

Navy Pier in Chicago had on exhibit this wonderful collection of stained glass.  I loved walking through the halls admiring the stained glass.  They did some renovating of the pier and these pieces were removed.  I am sure they were just on lease for a certain amount of time.  Actually it was a  pretty long, but then they were gone....left are memories.
