Here are 3 Western New York inspired paintings. The beach is at Lotus Bay on Lake Erie where Toby has a summer home. It was a cloudy day and then the sun broke through and lit up the clouds and water. The other scene shows Lake Erie when it's calm and the waves barely ripple as they come ashore. The farm is an Amish farm in an area about 25 miles south of Toby's house where many Amish families have settled in the Conewango Valley, Cattaraugus County, NY.

This is a painting done on a masonite board. 

It's the gate in my backyard with poppies in the sunlight.

Here's Viggo with his trusty Thomas lunch box (14" x 18" oil on canvas). Paige looking out the door (20" x 24" oil on canvas). A peony (10" x 8" oil on canvas) and poppy (10" x 8" oil on canvas). Just click on a painting to see a larger version.

I've been working toward a more impressionistic style. Here are some geese and a barrio window with shadows.
