February Work - Island Pines
































While on St. George Island, FL this February, I took a few photos of interesting-looking pine trees - thinking I might paint one or two. Here's a pair of 6 x 8's. $50 each, $80 for the pair, unframed.

More February work...The Great Oak


This oak was huge when I was born - I played under this tree 70 years ago. I took this early morning photo on a trip to Norway in 2009 with the intent of some day turning it into a nostalgic painting. A swing was hanging from the same branch that our swing used to hang from when my brothers and sister and I were kids.







When I emailed this one to my older brother, he dug up an old photo he had of our mother in front of that same tree, nearly 80 years ago - look how big this tree was even then!
