Watermill In Bayeux

My first painting (in pastels) of a site we saw in France on our way to Omaha Beach. It was actually kind of a fortunate stop, in that we actually had a few minutes to look around before leaving on the next leg. I liked the composition, colors, and water with buildings rarely fails to grab my attention. So here you go...I'll dedicate this to our good (French) friends, the Foucachons!

Gone With the Wind

I freely admit this is kind of weird. I saw the original photo on Emma's facebook post weeks ago and liked the strange coloring and pose she and Monique had. I decided to paint it as a departure from my normal (no-people) approach. It was a fun diversion...nothing against the gals, but I think I'll stick to ships and buildings...

Kambry's Flat

This is the second commissioned flat (London apartment) I've done this summer - the two families knew each other and both wanted a memory of their time in Britain, since they both moved to Dallas. A fun deal was that when Julie and I were in London (with Mark and Carolyn), the bus we were on leaving the city drove down this street! The iron railings were different in each set of row houses, too. This piece is also 16 X 21, on 180 lb Arches.
