Here's a typical back view of housing on the south side of Chicago in Stoney Island.  The bleakness of this view drew me into painting it.

Stay warm, healthy and strong.

Happy New Year's Everyone.  I got way behind on posting my new paintings so I may still add them or I may just start with the New Year....watch for them.

This is a view I caught recently which is at the end of my block.  Love to watch the sun set here.

Here's wishing everyone health and happiness in 2021...we'll take one day at a time.

Winter in Indiana

It's not snowing here yet in Indiana, but it is winter so it can come any day. I love painting snow and naked trees.  More to come.

Stay Well.  tay Strong.

 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas...and all Good Blessings in the New 

 Year.  Things are a bit different this Christmas but the message is still the       same Christmas message.  Reflect on the quietness of this year.  Looking   forward to a brighter New Year.  Peace and Love.

This is at Lake Dale which is in Cedar Lake, Indiana.  It was really pretty this fall.  We happened to be there the day that they were draining the lake.  They lower it a few feet and the water flows into the Kankakee river.  This gives the people that live around the lake a chance to clean it up of old dead branches or things that people might have thrown into the lake.  It was a fun day.

Stay well.  Stay strong.

Even though I like warmer weather, there is so much beauty that you can see in "Naked" trees.  So I am studying them more and just "branching" out.  

Hope you have a great week.  Wear your mask and keep your distance.  

Stay well.  Stay strong.

 Recently found some neat areas to gather information for future paintings.  Thinking about some water painting right now.

 Stay well.  Stay strong.
