This painting is from a group of photos I took while on a trip to the outer banks. The boat is the same one in my painting "Captain Skylark". There was something wonderfull in the sbstract Yin-Yang form where the hull and keel meet. I hope you enjoy it.

Several people had mentioned that I should paint the Lucky Strike towers. I thought it was a good idea but I just couldn't find the view, angle, lighting..... you get the picture. One day in December I was driving behind the American Tobacco Campus on the track side and happened to look over between two of the buildings and  WOW!! I pulled over and climbed up on the tracks to get this shot. I love it and I hope you enjoy it.

Over Thanksgiving Catherine and I were able to spend some time at the coast. During our meanderings I came across this shrimper up on stands in dry dock. The angles you can get are just awesome. Pair that with a wild November sky and you have magic.

If you drive out Old Oxford Hwy from Roxboro Rd you pass an old store lovingly called the "Cat" store. For years I have passed this store and thought to myself  "I should paint this" but never did.... Time passed and every time I went by, the same thoughts. In the fall I once again drove by and noticed that the old store seemed to be getting fragile and I realized I better do it now. This is the way I want to remember it, age and beauty together as one.
