“Memorial to a Historic Past” Millersburg Ohio

This is a section of an Old Courthouse in Millersburg Ohio. The ornate decorative elements of the doorways and windows appealed to me. I think it has been a couple of years since I was there, but this building attracted my attention immediately in walking past it.

Millersburg, Ohio, from a trip to Amish Country Ohio

Visit to Mystic Seaport, Connecticut, (Painting’s below)

Memories gleaned from my exploration of the Seaport, interpreted into images expressive of what was significant of the time and place. Had a wonderful time, and am still enjoying the excursion through visits with my photos! More to come!

Following below is a series of paintings inspired by Mystic Seaport

Mystic Seaport was so lovely. It is an area that hangs its glory on the whaling past of the sea men whose lives were built around their shipping and fishing
history. If you are familiar with the movie “Mystic Pizza” with a young Julia Roberts, this is where it takes place.

Yellow House on the Corner, Franklin MI watercolor 11"x 15"

On a perfect painter's day, sunny and warm, late afternoon sun abounding, I spent 3 more hours completing this painting. I had spent a couple of hours at the same spot last weekend, doing the sketch for this painting, and then used my time today to paint it with watercolor. Fabulous day for painting, and I've been longing for that kind of day to appear!
