This is a bit of departure from my usual posting and may be a one-time experiment. It’s a three dimensional construction painted on wood. I’ve always been intrigued by posters and kiosks in public places seen in my travels around the world. I found this one in Venice, Italy and was fascinated by how the layers of old posters created a beautiful pattern and design. You can see in the 3-D view above the actual space created by the molded construction of the kiosk that I’ve created by constructing it out from the base of the painting. It’s constructed so that it doesn’t need a frame with a hanging wire included on the back.

Do you remember as a kid jumping into a pile of falling leaves? The unforgettable sound, smell and feel of rustling leaves in fall are memories all of us retain.

This painting celebrates the beauty we experience each year as summer comes to an end in a riot of colors as nature paints the trees with yellow, gold, orange and vivid reds and pinks. It has taken all the colors in my palette of reds and yellows to portray a snapshot of this fall season. The sound of wind-rustled leaves and the scent of burning leaves are embedded in this painting along with all the visual information you see here.

To my surprise I found a Peregrine this summer while visiting a place in east central China called Thousand Island Lakes, southwest of Shanghai. There are many lakes to visit in this area so we chartered a boat to take us to places like Monkey Island and Bird Island. We found the Peregrine obviously on Bird Island. While not all the birds there seemed to have the best environment, this one seemed to be in excellent conditions and was beautiful.

With a little research I discovered the Peregrine apparently can be found almost anywhere in the world. It has been used as a hunting bird for thousands of years and is one of the fastest creatures on earth having been clocked at more than 300 km/h in a dive.

While I’m not an ornithologist, or a specialist in painting birds, my passion is to observe and paint all kinds of natural phenomena. I’ve never wanted to limit my painting to one kind of subject so as I travel, anything that attracts my attention can be a subject for painting.

This little guy has been visiting my window bird feeder for the suet. I finally spotted him on an old tree stump making for a more natural composition. Here is the result of that view.

While digging into a storage box in the attic I found an old bag of marbles reminding me of the games we played many years ago in middle school. I couldn’t resist doing a painting of a couple of those old friends. They seem as bright and fresh and new today as they did many years ago.

On our bike ride on “Falling Waters Trail” in Jackson County we came across some patches of sumac with bright fall colors. I tried to quickly capture the colors against the dark shadows of the woods behind. The surrounding trees are just beginning to change colors and I’ll be photographing those as they continue to turn.
