A Few New Paintings

It has been a busy time the last few months with travels between Florida and Maryland and Illinois for family events. I did manage to complete a few new paintings for the next opening in our gallery.
The first two are from previous trips to Italy.
 
 
The Balcony The carved stone. The iron work. The recessed windows and doors. All of these make the balconies on older buildings in Europe so attractive.



 
 
Rialto This famous landmark is known to all visitors to Venice. It is one of the many charming sites that make that city so popular with tourists and inspires me to paint another scene of Italy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Making Waves The back of our gallery looks across a small pond toward the golf course. One day as I was sitting in the gallery I looked out the window and noticed a pair of ducks swimming across the quiet pond. The pattern of their wake caught my attention and inspired me to try and capture it on canvas.
