Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This is one of the cupola’s on the campus of Ashland University. It happens to be on a building that is scheduled to be razed next month. I went to classes in this building when I was a student here. This is Miller Hall which was once the library, offices and classrooms [...]

I went painting with the Ohio Plein Air Society last Saturday. It was a little crisp but the sun came out and there was some beautiful light. I fought through some thorn bushes to get this angle across the pond back into the barn and I think it was worth it. Still experimenting with watercolor [...]

I’ve been playing around a little with watercolor lately. I did this one as part of the virtual paintout from Bill Guffy. A great little thing to go to when your looking for something to do when you can’t get out.

I had a chance to get out and paint yesterday and I got this one in at Ashland University before the rain started. I have done a few paintings on the campus and now I am thinking about putting together a series of paintings from AU. Who knows. This light post caught my eye in [...]

This is a view from our backyard looking out at Ashland BalloonFest on Saturday night. I try not to go down where all the action is. I got a fair amount of this sketched in before the balloons began lifting off. This stage is exactly what I was after and I had to paint like [...]

This was painted as a part of Plein Air Ashland. A small group of us have gotten together and done some painting around town. This was supposed to be Ashland University but as I was doing a quick look around for somewhere to paint I spotted the coffee shop across the street with great light [...]
