A Bridge of Sighs_Venice_Oil on Canvas_30x30
This is a famous spot in Venice, drawing painters like Sargent, Renoir, and Monet.
On the left is a court where prisoners were sentenced, on the right is where they were jailed, and executed. As they walked in between the buildings, they looked out the barred windows and "sighed".
This is a composite, with actual images found in Venice. Upper left is the image of the winged lion ( St. Mark). Upper right is Noah spilling wine.

Jordanville is the home of a Russian Orthodox monastery. The monks in black robes, run a working farm. The main church has beautiful golden domes surrounded by farmland.
There is a meadow above the monastery which is a perfect spot to look down on the main building.
To the right is the monastery graveyard, with a small silver chapel.
This was the show card image. For the last 30 years I have painted on the water which was the Erie Canal. I work in all seasons, and have about 80 pastels, and many oils of the river.
Lilacs, wine, and blue cheese make this still life dance. It is my take on the great artist Pierre Bonnard.
Monhegan Island is off the coast of Maine above Portland, and has been a mecca for artists for many years.
I climbed the rocky cliff, and surrounded by gulls, sketched this pastel.
