When out plein air painting this fall in the wheat fields I witnessed this cloud formation. I appeared in the eastern sky as a series of clouds began to mass. I was so disappointed that the morning was not going to be sunny for my painting session. But I had my sketch and continued to paint after I took photos of the unusual cloud that stood before me.
From time to time I like to switch up my medium and my approach. Here I am doing a demo at a local brewery as part of a promotional for the City.

One year the tall ships visited Philly. Yet another year I saw them in Savannah. And still another year here in Michigan at South Haven. So feeling very, very at loose ends I painted this version in my studio. My only prayer is that no sailor or sailing expert examines the rigging too closely!

Here we have Jim modeling for our JCAA and ESM group. Jim models in and around the southern Michigan area as a change of pace from running his own business. When he handed me his business card I was duly impressed to see he holds a PhD and does research projects for clients all around the country, from California to Washington D.C.
