This is a locally famous view from Devil's Dyke in the South Downs. It was painted from a travel shot from my wife's recent trip to England.

Series paintings are a great tradition started by the Impressionists. Here are two Bing Cherries from the roadside stand in Sky Valley.

One Cherry

6" x 6" Oil on mounted linen.

$50 - Shipping to US included.

The seasons roll around and it is time for fresh fruit at the roadside stands again. Bing cherries are available just like Bing search engines.

Pennsylvania Farmland

14" x 11" Oil on mounted linen.

$100 - Shipping to US included.

This painting is from the current Different Strokes challenge. It is some prime Pennsylvania farmland. The image was black and white so all of the color here is imagined. The original is here.

Space Needle

16" x 20" Oil on panel.

$165 - Shipping to US included.

The Space Needle is THE symbol of Seattle. It always grabs my attention when we are near downtown. This is the view from Tom's house one evening. I love those special nights when they fly the restaurant around the city. It is spectacular as it zips around the skyline and the sound. I wish I could afford the tickets for one of those nights; they come dear.

I painted this from a reference shot of it coming back in for a landing.

Washington State Ferry Sunset

14" x 11" Oil on panel.
In a private collection,
Clarkston, Washington.

Ferries ply some beautiful waters in the Puget Sound. The mountains of the Olympic peninsula give a hazy backdrop to this ferry moving toward Bremerton and the sunset. This sky is just barely exaggerated from the kind of stunning sunsets we can sometimes get here.

New York City

11" x 14" Oil on mounted linen.

$100 - shipping to US included.

I had been working on(struggling with) another cityscape of Seattle. Thank goodness the Different Strokes challenge gets me to post on a schedule. This is another of Karin's reference shots from New York City.

Statue of Diana

11" x 14" Oil on mounted linen.

$100 - Shipping to US included.

The current Different Stokes challenge done at the last minute, as usual. I'm such a procrastinator. I was tempted to push the color, but I guess I overcame the temptation somewhere along the way.
