M-303- Twilight Snow
24x18

     --I spent most of the first ten years of my life in Florida and later in California. I had never seen snow until moving to the mid west. This is how I pictured  snow from calendars, posters, books and pictures. Here again I selected a subject that reminded me of what I had missed as a child. I could smell the cold crisp air. How cool! 

M-304- Old Mill Stream
18x24

       --Of all the paintings I have designed, this one means the most to me.  It was inspired by stories my mother told me about how she and her friends used to play near an old mill. She was thrilled when I told her I had painted it just for her. She was the first to paint it, hanging it on the wall before it was even dry.  At every opportunity she would she would say, “Look what my sonny boy painted for me so that I could paint it just for him”.  I still have her painting of the Old Mill.
