Lost heron

Watercolor
This was also inspired by some photos from my father and his trip to Florida every year.

The additions


Watercolor
Old barn in Granby, MA. Used to fish near this old beauty...all closed up and the property was for sale....

Yellow buildings

This is a watercolor of a building on the campus of Amherst College, Amherst, MA....

I embellished the tone a bit...do not know the history, but my wife and I used to walk the campus when we lived there.

Comments?

Birds in space, too.


Watercolor of two water birds. This was inspired by my parents, as they visit Florida every Febuary.
One of my favorite scenes in a movie also inspired this-"Immortal Beloved".....

Bookends


This is a watercolor and graphite painting I made about 4 years ago. It is a section of the North Adams library in MA.
Oil painting on canvas paper. This is a Lutheran Church in the town of Manitowok, Wisconsin. This image is an attempt to show the contrast between the sky and the building. I have also seen this technique used by a few artists. The two colors are opposites on the color wheel.

Please tell me what you think??

Chillon


Oil of a castle my family visited in Switzerland many years ago. Chillon.


One of the many fond memories I have of that year we lived in Bern.
