"This Used To Be A Marina..."

I was out looking for a specific painting site I had discovered in the winter, but in the process, I found this spot at Black Creek at the intersection of Ballantyne Road and Scottsville Road instead. A woman who stopped to see what I was up to gave me a bit of information on what had been there before - a marina. Something about this little, salmon pink shack really intrigued me. I think it's the first time I've used some of the hot pink pastels I carry with me. Sadly, I was informed by a friend that the little shack burned down a year or so after I painted this.

March Path

Black Creek Park in Chili tends to be very manicured, which I find unappealing. However, that forces me to look harder to find the right view to paint. I think it makes me a better artist since it forces me to use more creativity. On display at the Genesee Country Village in Mumford, now through Oct. 28.

Green Glow at Black Creek

April 2006 - I wasn't having a good day, so I took off to paint. After driving around for a while, I found this beautiful spot in Black Creek Park. This was done as the sun was setting and the light was shining through the trees and through the new grass that grew along the edge of the creek.
