Autumn Poplars Study

Oil on canvas, 7" x 5"     
A study of a stand of poplars in the Grass River area of northern Michigan. Chances are that this will eventually become a larger work.

Vineyard

Oil on canvas - 24" x 48"   This  85 year old + vineyard and orchard, originally located near the corner of Knapp and the East Beltline was torn out and replaced with a large commercial developement-Celebration Cinemas.  All that you see now is a parking lot and buildings. Knowing that it was soon to be gone forever I walked the property and completed several oils from different vantage points this being one of my favorites.  Giclee prints of this painting will soon be available. Please contact my studio to purchase a print. 

Autumn Poplars Study

Oil on canvas - 7" x 5" (Private collection)     A brief change in subject matter as autumn approaches and we are blessed with all of  its great majesty.  This paintingis featured for September in my 2012 Calendar - "Trees". 

Note: As I write, my 2013  Desk Calendar is in the works and will be coming out soon... will  focus again on the Lake Michigan Shoreline.  These calendars  make nice holiday gifts for home or office and you will be able to enjoy 12 of my paintings throughout the year. More information to follow...
Additional note:  Many of the paintings you have enjoyed these past months are for sale. Several are available as a fine art (giclee) print.  Please contact me to purchase one of these oils.

Paths to the Beach at Hoffmaster

Oil on canvas - 20" x 24"   The dunes at Hoffmaster are always changing. I visited this spot last week; most of these trees are there, but a large section of the path along the edge of the rise has been carved away by the wind. More paintings to come from this area!

Shoreline at Hoffmaster Study

Oil on canvas - 6" x 8"     There is nothing quite so peaceful as walking the beach in the evening as dusk approaches, experiencing Lake Michigan with all of its moods.

Birch Trees, Lake Huron Shoreline
