Depending on the circumstance, the paintings may be offered for sale, kept as study pieces or donated to a worthy cause.

Trees Along The Clarion
There's something dramatic and yet simple about doing a painting in a single ink color. It has a certain kind of power.
If you were to visit the Clearcreek State Park you would be greeted with a great deal of trees throughout the park and along the river's edge. When I painted this on site, the sun was extremely strong and the trees were almost completely silhouetted. The river's reflection was brilliantly bright .
I was captivated by the leaning tree. It stood out, appearing to want to pull away from other perfectly vertical trees nearby.
I had to paint it.
Medium: Black India Ink on Hot Press Watercolor Paper
