"Contemplation"
Oil on canvas - 9"x 12"
contemporary fine art - figurative,city scene,landscape

It was a beautiful day at the Columbus Museum of Art. I spent some time in the sculpture garden. It was so relaxing to view the sculptures near the pond. A perfect fall day; the leaves were just beginning to get some color. The larger canvas gave me more of the open feeling of the garden that I felt.

A young woman found the sculpture garden to be a perfect place to do a little studying. It was a beautiful fall day. I loved the reflection of the bronze sculpture and trees in the pond. After a few sketches, I came up with this image.

"Tweedle Twins"
oil on canvas - 6"x 8"
Appletree Hollow Series

Written under this image in the Appletree Hollow album, was the date of 1827 with the title: Dee & Dum - the Tweedle Twins. They were identical twins who, as far as I can tell, never contradicted each other. Rather, they complimented each other in every way so completely that they became very famous, eventually owning a chain of clothing stores – “The Tweedle Brothers” finest in tailored wool clothing for big men.

A small glimpse into the possible thoughts this woman
might be having.When I was designing this piece some
of my thoughts dealt with color. I decided to make a
very light background and concentrate the color on the
woman to make it more like she was the art.

Found these gals in,what I named, the Angel Room. They seemed to be enjoying two of my favorite paintings in the museum. These paintings are small but powerful with an added touch of whimsy.
