Cloud Mass.jpg

Cloud Mass is a watercolor painted at the Clayton Gallery from a photo I took of clouds.  I was standing on the Fee Fee Church lot looking west toward St. Charles Rock Road.  I can’t remember seeing such massive clouds around here.

Morning Plein Air from Hellebusch Park in Bridgeton. I walked over and pulled my supplies in a little 2 wheel cart. This is oil on canvass board done with palette knife.

Dad’s Flowers.jpg

Painted at Artists of Grace awhile ago, I just brought it home recently. It was on display in the Grace Gallery. It is a studio painting of oil on stretched canvas. It was painted from a photo of iris from my garden along with some flowers from my Dad's funeral. I brought the iris in and they had been damaged by a storm. I though I would paint the darkness and damage related to feelings about losing my parents, but as I painted it turned into a painting of beauty and the idea that Jesus said In my Father's House are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you. The light in the background is a road forward.

Jewel Box.jpg

A plain air painting of the Jewel Box.  It is a glass building in Forest Park (St. Louis, Mo), which was built in 1936 and is locally significant in the area of architecture. The Art Deco building is an outstanding example of greenhouse design. It contains displays of flowers and plants. I painted the outside.
