On the way to Chicago this is a typical scene you would see of Amoco Oil Refinery. These are in Whiting, Indiana.  We have so much industry out this way.

Heading Back Home

This is a very common scene about 2 hours from my home. I had taken this photo of the buggy in the fall, I had a photo of a street scene and I made up the composition and the farm area. It is fun to have an artistic license.

"Industry: Power"

This is what I see when I head up to Chicago on the Toll Road. There is so much industry in the area in which I live. This is attributed to the fact that I live so close to Lake Michigan. With this in mind, I thought I would do some industry paintings. Hope you enjoy them. If you live in the "Region" you will know these areas.

Thought I would send you all a little Christmas wish. I didn't know all of your addresses, so I hope this will do. Enjoy!!

Continuing on with my reflective series, this finds me painting the Little Calumet River. It is pretty in the winter but caused a lot of damage a few years ago when we had massive flooding from it during some summer storms. It runs all through the neighboring towns.

Stay warm....

No Football Today-Soldier's Field, Chicago

Bet you wondered what had happened to me that I didn't post for a while....Well, I was busy putting up Christmas decorations. I have trees in every room and I finally got them all up last night. I missed not being able to paint. But it is looking a bit festive in my house now.

This is a painting as you go into the city of Chicago. Soldier's field is the stadium where the Chicago Bears football team play. It is really a neat shaped building.

Well back to decorating for me....

Thought I would take a break from decorating for the Christmas holiday by doing this painting. There is so much to do...but you still have to take time to fill your soul. Enjoy!

"Working on the Railroad"

This is a painting that I did with my husband in mind. He was working on this piece of equipment. No, he is not one of the guys standing to the left. He is actually on top of this doing the wiring and electrical work. It sure was a different subject of me. No way for me to be loose on this one.
