"The Village." Acrylics on stretch canvas.  

Congress Avenue After a Rain is a 16x20 acrylic painting that was a lot of fun to paint. The reference photograph was amazing, with the buildings reflected in full on the wet street. This is from the Congress Avenue bridge in downtown Austin, looking north. We could use some rain!!  

This acrylic painting on a 12 x 12 stretched canvas seems to strike a chord with a lot of people. Some see a little taste of the Mediterranean or New Mexico. A friend told me that this make her happy and reminds her of Chile where she lived for a time. Another friend told me it brings to mind a red Schwinn she once owned. All of your comments make me especially happy!  Buy this wall art today! See More Bicycle Art on Fine Art America: bicycle art  

While visiting my Mother-in-Law a couple of weeks before her death, I noticed a magical print outside her room by G. Harvey called "Children in the City". It depicted a snowy city scene where the street lamps, building windows, and street car windows shown brilliantly against dark backgrounds. I wanted to attempt to reproduce the light/dark contrast effect in a similar painting on some new linen canvas paper that Jill gave me for Christmas.  Below is my work. City Snow Fall
