I decided that I had painted enough realistic paintings and decided to try line work and pouring. This was the result.

Halloween Parade

Well, while I am in this Halloween mood, a parade emerged. Again this subject emerged after applying many layers of color. The painting works upside down, too.

Celebrating Halloween

The leaves been almost gone and it been Halloween this painting surfaced as a multi media work. Pouring was the method with liquid acrylics. A bit spooky.

City Roofs

15x11 watercolors
I painted this scene for a challenge by Karin Jurick called Differetn Strokes From Different Folks. I painted it vertically and after surveying the opinion of some good artists like my friend Rosemary Sexton, I decided to re post it vertically. I like it better and had lots of fun with the subject.

Down the Lane

i look down from my house at this lane which is particularly beautiful in autumn. I have tried to paint it many times, but did not like the way it turned out. I tried it again today and like it.Today is a bright, sunny autumn day. Perhaps that influenced my mood .

Fall Barn

This barn was an out of the way one.I had observed it and painted it during other seasons of the year. I thought it would be beautiful in Fall colors and liked the way the light hit the top of the barn.
