Four Fish, 36 x 46, acryic on canvas
Since August 8, 2008, I have been inspired by the painting a day phenomenon that is happening in the blogsphere. This truly is an art movement. I started my first daily painting with a tomato from my summer garden. I will also be using my “Earth Objects” as inspiration. This should be an interesting ride.
My plan is to post a painting a day at least five days a week. Please feel free to "feed your burn" and tell other art lovers about this blog site.

Red White and Blue Birdie, 8" x 8", oil on canvas
I didn't realize how patriotic this work was until after I painted it. Must be all the political chatter that is going on around me these days. Can't seem to get away from it. This does display my patriotic side.

Train Station, Vienna Virginia, 36" x 20"
This is the old train station in my home town. The station is now part of the WO Railroad bike trail. I live on the bike trail and commute every day into town on my bike. When I was a child the railroad tracks were still in place. This is the heart of Vienna--located on Dominion and Church Street. Come visit sometime!

Recent News
Life has been a bit on the busy side lately--as in my other job--"that darn economy thing we are all contending with". I have been working on a painting that is taking many days to complete. I hope to finish it today so I can begin my daily paintings again this week. If you have any suggestions for images, I am open to them. I have been thinking about some Christmas images.
