The light

Again, I have tried to create a view if this fantastic, and very famous lighthouse in Maine. This is a view from a boat, my father-in-law takes me out fishing and this is a spot where we usually catch a few mackerel.

Portland Headlight snowing

This is a view from Willard Beach, ME in South Portland. This was the first winter that I had ever experienced in Maine, and there was an incredible snow storm the night before I captured this piece.

Watercolor on paper. 6"X 11"

De Pere Bridge

This is a local bridge-that was demolished last year. A new bridge with 4 lanes of traffic has taken its place over the Fox River.

I have to say, I like the bridge the day that I saw it....it had allot of character. I have several paintings of this piece of the bridge.

This is oil on canvas board.
