Getting Ready for End of Summer Show


Four new paintings are ready for the end of Summer show. 


 

 Almost Spring in Montmartre is a scene from the park area next to Sacre Couer Basilica. I spotted the young couple on the bench while I was wandering around Montmartre during my trip to Paris earlier this year. The promise of Spring with the green developing and the unique pink haze in the distant trees demanded a very soft looking approach. Midnight in Paris came from the same trip. A late night walk along the dampened street near my hotel revealed the streaks and sparkles of light that epitomize a drizzly city after dark.
 









Village Square is a composite of several locations that I visited last Summer in Italy. The anticipation of the day as the tables and umbrellas are ready for the inhabitants to gather is uplifting and welcoming. Tortola Tranquility comes from a photo I shot nearly 20 years ago on one of my diving trips to the Caribbean. As the day ends and the sun begins to set over the harbor, everything seems to be at peace.
