Objects of Memory

A little collection of things on my desk.

South Congress

A rain puddle and derelict Airstream trailer in the big food truck lot on South Congress in Austin.

Class Still life

Classroom painting of a spotlit English teapot. The arrangement is certified free of any allegorical  symbolism.

South Ervay

Corner of South Ervay and Desolation Row.  Limited palette of warm and cool primaries.

Cedar Ridge Preserve

Somewhat geezerish looking painting of the only hilly spot in Dallas county.  Gee, I was hoping I wouldn't start up with this style until I was in my mid-seventies..

Countertop

lit by a kitchen sink window.

Bee Creek, Wild Basin Preserve

Rainy day view up Bee Creek at Wild Basin Preserve, Austin, TX.

Not sure how it's related, but I painted this a few minutes after I finished the landscape.
