Winter is my most productive season as I seek out images to paint. I find the landscape much more interesting as the bare trees have a linear quality that compliments the many architectural subjects that I prefer. Outside my window Newboro Lake is frozen and the woods are still but inside the fire is warm and the many photos I have taken lay scattered on my studio table just waiting to be interpreted. January will see several new images in the gallery, with of course winter as the theme.
