It was February in South Carolina with colder than average temperatures so I put on a jacket, shouldered by easel and backpack and headed to a sunny location in the lowcountry marsh on a raised walkway. The wind was blowing my canvas but I think the painting looks like a warm summer day. Egrets and Heron fished while I painted.

We spent February 2015 in Folly Beach, SC. This year we took our golden along with us. One of the many public places that welcome pets is the Lost Dog cafe. While Dan, Izzy, and his buddy Larry had their lunch on the large porch i stood on the street and painted this favorite local meeting place.

For 7 years i was an exhibitor at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition and during that great event in Charleston there was a blues festival taking place in many venues around this wonderful southern city. The Home Team BBQ was one of our favorites with some great musicians performing almost nightly for two weeks.
What fun to paint this scene along with my styrofoam cup in the foreground!!

This small painting was from my thoughts of a sunset over the dunes by the Atlantic.
I love the way the brush works show in the photograph. Its said there is a green flash right at the moment the sun dips below the horizon. I keep watching for it.

"The Mud Flats" is a favorite local restaurant and watering hole for the area fisherman and golfers. Pretty good food as well! They feature live music on several night a week.
(this is not an advertisement) When the owner Martin saw some of my interior scenes he asked to purchase two for his place and then I decided paint a scene from his bar.

In the Fall I had to deliver a painting to southern Ohio and we stayed in a cabin in the area.
In the morning I took a trail called Cave Trail and was awed by the way the light filtered through the trees in the forest. This painting won Best of Show over many entries at the Cultural Arts Center in Delaware.

For the past 7 years I take a week long backpacking trip with friends and Heather.
I decided to paint the trail at Laurel Highlands from the perspective of Cheryl and I hiking ahead. I'm guessing we were photographed by the stragglers!
My trail name is Small Curly and if you were standing next to me you would know why that is so.
I get so much inspiration from being in the woods for this extended period.

Izzy our golden retriever is always so excited to go down to play in our creek. It was the perfect summer day for my grandson Harrison and her to do some stone skipping while cooling off.
I think i captured the distance and mood of the day.

During a visit to Nashville with my daughter i became intrigued by the bands playing in the windows of the bars. Painting the neon made a fun challenge to try to make the light pop.

Beyond our creek is a woods and in the woods our neighbor farmer has cut a path where i sometimes walk with Izzy. The painting reminds me of a road in western Michigan which is called Tunnel of Trees. I've ridden my bike on it a few times and the trees almost meet above the road.
The light at the end where the field starts is what interested me in this scene.

We took the island ferry to Ocracoke on the Outer Banks to attend their summer music festival.
The weather was perfect so that in the mornings i could go for a beach run. In the evenings all over the island musicians played in different venues. The central park was set up with a stage and lighting and there was something magical about the stars, lightening bugs, and good music that made it a vacation to dream about during those long Ohio winters.

The hillside beyond this woods is a pasture and on some days the cattle graze right up to the edge of this woods. When Izzy is walking with us she is worried about the quiet giant dogs on the other side of the fence.

For a short spring break we drove to Kentucky and stayed in cabins at Cumberland Falls.
This looks almost tropical but the truth is that we woke to snow on the deck so it was a cold hike even while the rhododendron lined the trail with their evergreen leaves.

I painted this scene from inside looking out my kitchen window. The temperature was in the single digits so I made the decision to stay indoors. The sun was trying to warm the day as you can see on the sides of the trees.
In March when the deep snow of the past winter melted this small runoff became a full blown stream. The leafless trees in the background let the viewer know that the chartreuse green of the April buds are still in the future.

The painting "Blue Sheedy Trees" got its name from my favorite local winter hiking spot. This preservation park is very secluded and little known. In the winter at 7:45am after a heavy overnight snow it is a virgin trail with tracks made only by the residents of the woods. I've followed a fresh coyote trail for a mile or so as well as deer, turkey, raccon and smaller creatures.
My painting chosen to be in the 79th annual exhibit at the Butler Museum of American Art in 2015.
My son-in-law and daughter are photographers and it was no question about who would take a head shot for me. I love the time of day that they chose to shoot this photo of myself at the easel.
