Well, I am back from my Minnesota trip visiting family. While there I was driven around with my daughter-law and her dad Ted. He drove us up one street and down another and on one of these excursions, Ted knowing I was looking for old buildings, pulls into this alley. I jump out even before the car came to a stop exclaiming "WOW". The old and sometimes abandoned buildings were just what I was hoping to find. Camera ready and watching where I was stepping I spot puddles with reflections of the buildings, brick walkways from the 30's, crumbling driveways all disappearing into the melting snow forming realistic abstracts images that I knew I was going to paint. This 6x6" original oil painting is on a varnished wooden box requiring no framing. (SOLD)
