One of My Favorite Places

This painting is of one of my favorite cities to visit. No, it is not in Europe. It is in Canada. Old Quebec City is quaint and charming. It offers wonderful restaurants, great views, and a wide variety of accomodations from a major hotel to small European-style rooms. You will love walking around the city on its narrow streets (and probably hate driving, especially if you have a full sized vehicle or SUV). My favorite time of year to visit is Autumn, when the mornings and evenings are brisk. You had better bring a sweater or buy one from one of the many shops that you will see. Gosh, just talking about Old Quebec City makes me want to visit again. If you can't schedule a getaway, you could purchase this painting. E-mail me.

Catching A Bubble

I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed creating it. Rarely, do I like my work immediately after creating it, but "Catching A Bubble" is an exception. It has interesting light effects. I like the colors which contribute to the light near the mountains and on the pond and the impression of the light in the bubble and on the hand. The browns and blues work well together (which I guess is why Mother Nature used these earth tones when creating the world). Please comment on "Catching A Bubble" below or send me an e-mail with your comments. I would love to hear from you!

ART FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX

Today, I present art from outside the box. (Yes, it is an over-used expression, but I couldn't think of a better one). First, I created this image of a cyborg or android. Some would say that I have a leg outside the box at this point, but I am going to jump out of it soon. I took the digital artwork and through the magic of the digital art process, re-created it with...um...fruits and veggies. Grapes, peppers, honeydew...you name it. The resolution of your monitor or the image itself may make it difficult to see the individual veggies. Click on the Veggie Cyborg to see a slightly larger view). When I was done, I could have made a salad from my art! Art for the eyes and the stomach...delicious. Now, if I could just figure out how to make 'scratch-n-sniff' art....
