Cricket Hollow
I did this painting at Mary Help of Christian Festival, Fairborn, Ohio,in 2004. This painting is of a creek almost frozen over in a deep hollow. It is a black and white, except for the bird and a few tinges of blue.
While I was in the middle of painting this, a family member stopped at my booth and thought the painting was a little unusual and said “Have you lost your mind? What place is that?”
I replied, “It’s just a painting from my mind.”
I took the painting home and hung it on the wall to dry. Not even two weeks passed before a friend came by the house. He stopped and looked and looked at the painting. He said, “I can’t believe it, my wife and I just came back from a canoe trip and that painting looks just like that place.” I was very surprised since this was just a painting from my mind and he purchased it on the spot.
It just goes to show one more time that as an artist you will sometimes be surprised that what some people think odd will be treasured by someone else.

Ok this is one of my favorites. The black and white is wonderful with just that little touch of color. Gatta put this as my number one.
