Title:  The Latin Quarter, Paris
Description:  My favorite part of Paris, France, was the Latin Quarter.  It seemed to bring together the best elements of life in a metropolis - an eclectic mix of sights and sounds and tastes paired with a comfortable closeness.  It was as if the buildings are cuddled together along the narrow streets.  But, I was so entranced, I completely forgot to take any photographs during my visit.  Thanks to Jill Butler, whose vacation photos provided the inspiration for this painting, I was able to portray the neighborhood that made so strong an impression on me by projecting her photo to nearly life size on the wall of my darkened studio, and then painting, in the dark, as if I were there again.

Title:  Night Sketch II
Description: I'm really fascinated by the way ordinary places that we often take for granted are changed at night.  What could be more ordinary than my own front door?  I'd love the opportunity to paint other people's entryways and front yards by night, and created this as a conversation starter when asking permission.

Title:  Night Gold
Description: Painted on site at the Palm Desert Public Library, late in November 2006.  My coldest night painting outdoors to date.  The parking lot outside the library has been planted with a great selection of desert appropriate and desert native trees - Palo Verde's, Mesquites, etc, and in the glow of the streetlights, they take on a mystery and magic quite different from their daytime appearance.

Title:  Echoes
Description:  The front entrance to the Palm Desert Public Library, by night.  I was particularly caught up by the way the light striking the support of the front of the building repeated the branching forms of the trees in the courtyard and parking lot.
