In the mood for trying somethings new, I have a few of these vintage tins so I decided to paint on them.
Having painted vibrant colors in my paintings for sometime, I will be moving into some earth tones, like the recent Venice work. 

I have found some collectors have become very fond of impasto paintings. I have started a version of my own, that I think you will really love. I will post them as soon as I can. So here you go is a vintage tin primitive style with roosters.  Available here: Vintage Rooster Tins

Today we visit Venice, with sunlight and shadows. Who doesn't love the Old World Ambiance?

Ambiance of Venice

I wanted to share an awesome picture with you. When I first started getting these in my photographs it was a misty evening I thought... its rain.  Then I shot them on clear nights. Right away I cleaned my lens, thinking ... dust particles. Even after that I kept getting photos with them. Pretty cool, huh? Oops I just told my age! Do people use cool anymore?

Ambiance, Great food, a fun 50's nostalgia restaurant. Downtown Bar Harbor, near Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Stained glass windows and you won't miss the train as it goes around periodically on tracks above the booths.

One of my night paintings, in the evening the darker colors fade back and the lighter, brighter colors really come to life.

Catching up after taking the summer off, here is Venice Night Life
If you’re prepared to opt for classical music, or settle for what back home would rank as a fairly low-key night out... but here –in Venice thanks to the glorious backdrop and a special air of romance your night out might just prove to be a truly special evening.

I didn't realize when I decided to paint full time, I would also become a writer, LOL.  At least I am trying to.
I am sure by now many of you realize I love the Ocean! What could be nicer than to hear the lapping of the waves, the fragrance of summer flowers while watching the sun coming up.
This painting is available here: 

Collectors seem to love the Ocean as Much as I do, this one is going to Calif.
Thank you Meryll !
