The Louvre at Pont Neuf is one of my favorite scenes in Paris and I have painted it often. To show a more unique and interesting approach, the composition was simplified and the colors were changed to a limited palette to work with the silver leaf sky.

I had taken a photo of this bridge, Pont Saint-Michel, on a sunny day with lots of greens and blue sky. It was lovely, but what caught my eye was the shadow on the bridge; the old worn stones had many colors in them and the reflections at that moment helped to create a visual path into the painting.

The Montmartre plaza in Paris is full of artists painting and selling their work. They must commit to being there every single day during their stay or find a juried replacement. The artists used to be ‘grandfathered’ into their space but now, they are charged a fee after acceptance.

The hilltop village of St. Cirq Lapopie, in the Dordogne area of France, can create numerous moods. On this early morning, the fog had rolled in overnight and had shrouded most of the surrounding area in the village.

Count them, there are really six bridges in this scene. This large painting was created with many impressionistic strokes of various colors to emulate the colors found on the old, worn stones and bridges. One must constantly think value, not color, to paint in this manner. The old saying is so true — ‘Value does the work and color gets the credit’.

Palmetto trees are abundantly found in the Carolinas. The shadows cast helped to create this composition. This painting was accepted into the 2015 ‘Carolinas Got Art Juried Exhibition’ — a juried exhibition open to North and South Carolina artists. Only 100 entries were accepted into the show.

There is a wonderful 3-mile walk from the train station to Giverny, Monet’s home and garden. My artist friend and I sat down on the street with our small set of paints and this painting was the result. The gate with all of its very aged colors tells a story in itself.

I have always wanted to paint the striking, gold statues on the Pont Alexander III Bridge in Paris, but the light was never correct. On this special evening, the golden sun was setting and it was creating deep, reflective shadows and colors on the statues and many colors in the sky. Adding just a bit of genuine gold leaf to the painting was a final touch to express my feelings.

The Place des Vosges in the Marais area is the oldest planned square in Paris. The park area is surrounded on all four sides of the square by retail shops and the typical three-story Parisian buildings. Painting the foliage at the top helped me to frame the composition and give you the feeling you are under the arcade.

It is fairly peaceful to sit on a Tuscan villa patio in Cortona, Italy, watching the sun go down while sipping a glass of Chianti. I was doing just that while teaching a painting workshop in Tuscany. Suddenly, the sky turned a warm yellow creating a reddish glow on the trees yet leaving the foreground a cool blueish-purple. Capturing the fleeting moment is what this painting is about.

The rolling Tuscan countryside has these typical Tuscan scenes almost around every turn. For this small painting, I wanted to try a new painting technique. First, I painted the panel with rust gesso, then scratched the surface slightly to create a texture. After it was dry, I painted this scene with acrylic on top of the textured base.

Sitting on the banks of the Seine while soaking in the sun is a Parisian pastime. The quays allow the visitors to walk along the river and often these trees on the quays create wonderful shadows as seen from the water. Using a limited palette and Impressionistic brushstrokes helped me to create a mood that was inspiring me.

Often, one must take a quick photo to capture the light and scene of the moment. In this case, a storm was coming, and after the storm, we drove by the buildings again and the scene had completely changed. There were no reflections and the unsealed wood had become quite dark.

The textures from years of wear on this very old, grand, Venetian pot attracted me; even the lichen growing on it added to its appeal. To enhance the feeling and scale of the pot, I left the stairs in the background and column in the painting but painted them only as a lighter background.

In Kennebunkport, Maine, suddenly the fog came up and enveloped everything but the dory boats. Many glazed layers were used to create this glow of the fog. If you mix yellow, red, and blue on your palette, you just get grey, but if you glaze each color separately, you can achieve a marvelous glow.

I spotted these reflections while walking near the Piazzo Navona in Rome, Italy. The scene looked so typically Italian to me. The glass door, opposite, was being reflected onto the wall; it was actually curved. The viewer must determine what is a reflection versus the textures on the wall.

In Panzano, while staying at Villa le Barone, high on a hilltop above Florence, this view was just down the road. It inspired me because of the various textures - one of my favorite painting styles to do. When painting this in watercolor, I must do a lot of ‘negative painting’ as watercolor must always go light to dark and few corrections can be made.
