I finished a violin order today. The customer loves Van Gogh's Starry Night, so I did my own rendition which I had to squeeze together elements from the original to make a pleasing composition on the back of the violin. In keeping with Van Gogh's style and the customer's wish for a horse, I painted a starry meadow with a horse on the front of the violin. The title of the piece is "Starry, Starry Night."

Today is back to school time at our house, so naturally I start thinking about fall. I have two new paintings with that in mind. This first painting, titled, Autumn Luminary Tree, is based on the 16th-century Swiss-German folkart, Scherenschnitte, but unlike the paper cutting, I painted a mirror image on a wood panel which takes quite a bit of time developing the design and then painting it to look like aged paper. The second painting features my popular landscape paintings with the red star barn, titled: Autumn Moon. I will be showing these works along with several others at D & J Scott Galleries in Lancaster, PA on First Friday in November and then will do another showing on Black Friday in Central Market.
