Michigan City Indiana Lighthouse

This is a large studio painting of the sunset at the Michigan City Indiana Lighthouse.  This is based off a photo, notes and the plein air sketch I did of the structure.  This is 90% done, I will probably make some small tweaks to this one, but it is done.

Plein Air - Skyline Drive

This is a Plein Air painting from a couple of weeks ago.  It has dried enough to scan it.  I struggled with getting the difference between the greens and the oranges of the changing foliage.  Still a lot of work to get it down.
