Bridge Over a Pool of Water Lilies
This is my copy of Claude Monet’s “Bridge Over a Pool of Water Lilies“
originally painted in the year 1900. I painted this for Granddaughter Farrah’s
bedroom. Her mom and I decided on this painting because Farrah’s middle name is Lily.
Montmartre Paris
I painted this from a slide I took while on vacation in Paris in 1967.
Boston Common at Twilight
This was painted by Childe Hassan during the 1880’s. This copy is an early attempt by me of dusk as the sun begins to set. I had to apply a lot of glazes to get the transparent effect in the sky and snow.
Landscape with Castle Ruins
This painting was not a result of a real place but an imaginary, fanciful one influenced by the landscapes of the Hudson Vally School of artists. The man with his dog comes upon the castle ruins while on a hike. I chose a large black dog because of Laika, my black lab. It is an early morning scene with mist still rising from the river.
Edgar Town Lighthouse
Got a call today from Sugar Land Airport and this painting sold today! I briefly spoke with the buyer who said that he is purchasing the painting for his Mom. He said that she already has a painting of a lighthouse on Cape Cod and he said this one will be a perfect companion for it. He was very complimentary saying I did a marvelous job painting it. It sounds like they may have relocated from the Cape and these paintings together will serve as a bit of nostalgia for them. Apparently his Mom is sick and may not be with us much longer……he said that after she passes he will then keep the painting and “treasure it”. Needless to say, I was very pleased and flattered that he liked my painting so well. I told him that my oldest son lives on Martha’s Vineyard and that the painting is based upon a pic I took while there on vacation. He said that he knows the very spot from which I took the photo! He will pay for it by check that he’ll mail to me. It sold for $ 95.00.
