Barcelona Postcard

 Barcelona.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  A larger postcard.

Like a Postcard

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  6x8 inches, watercolor and pen & ink.  Like a postcard, a remembrance of a place once visited not so long ago.

Stony Plaza and Smart Phones

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  6x8 inches, watercolor, gouache and pencil on mixed media paper.  The hikers don't seem to mind stretching out on the stony surface to use their smart phones.

Santiago de Compostela

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  8x10 inches, watercolor, gouache and pencil on paper.  First of a series of sketches of the plaza, usually filled with arriving hikers and visitors.  I think of them as postcards to recapture the experience of being there.

Bridge Study

This postcard painting of Pont Royal in Paris is a study for a larger version.  6x8 inches, oil on multimedia artboard.

A Reactionary

When I was young, I read Clement Greenberg, and if you subscribed to his ideas, painting was over. Robert Motherwell declared eighty years ago that landscape painting ended with Cezanne. So here I am again painting in a retardataire, reactionary, worn out manner.  But then, I think because other people have already visited Paris, that isn't a reason why I shouldn't go too.  A Seine postcard painting. 6x8 inches, oil on multimedia artboard.

Pont Royal and the Seine

View Out The Window

A view out of a window at the Louvre.  This one's a study for a larger painting.  6x8 inches, oil on linen panel.

Just Playing

Every now and then (it should be more often) I give myself permission to just fool around with paint and not worry about the next masterpiece.  Here I'm just playing with another Seine postcard scene near Notre Dame.  6x8 inches, oil on linen panel.

Across the Seine

 Across the Seine towards the Pont Royal, Paris. 6x8 inches, oil on linen panel.

Along the Seine

 Walking along the Seine.  6x8 inches, oil on linen panel.
