No, it's not the novel by Saul Bellow or the former manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, but this train car in the yards north of Commercial Street in Springfield caught my eye back in 2005. 16x20 oil on canvas.  SOLD

The old iron bridge at Fiddler's Ford in Dade County, built in 1911, is no more. I read that it was torn down and replaced in 2015. I got a look at it for this painting in 2006. SOLD 16x20 oil on canvas. 

Over the past 40 years or so, I've painted a few pictures of Lindenlure, a scenic little spot on the Finley River southeast of Springfield. This one is from 2006. SOLD 16x20, oil on canvas

A more recent piece of work from 2015. This scene is from a plantation near Natchitoches, Louisiana. Spider lilies and a cotton barn -- it doesn't get much more southern than that. 14x18, oil on canvas Price: $125

Another more recent offering. I like old buildings, cars, farm equipment, etc. This vintage tractor, work-worn but still in use, is an example of the latter from 2016. SOLD 16x20, acrylic on canvas

The Livestock Exchange building at the one-time Union Stockyards in Springfield, from 2006. The stockyards is now a metal salvage yard. SOLD 16x20, oil on canvas

In 2006, this house overlooked National Avenue in Springfield, near an underpass that went below the railroad tracks just north of Commercial Street. The house is long gone, but the underpass, of course, is still there. (The underpass is officially called the National Boulevard Subway. Those big cities got nothin' on us.) 16x20 oil on canvas Price: $150

A snowy afternoon in 2006 in center-city Springfield, a few blocks west of downtown. 16x20, oil on canvas Price: $125

Commercial Street in north Springfield has gained new life in recent years with shops, restaurants, a farmers market and other businesses. But here's a view you don't see unless you look for it -- the train yards behind the buildings on the north side of the street. This view is from 2005. SOLD 16x20, oil on canvas

This scene from 2007 was in Marshfield, Mo., just off the town square. I don't believe the thrift shop is there anymore. Don't know about the pickup. 16x20 oil on canvas Price: $150

What says San Francisco better than this? A row of cable cars on the Powell and Market Street line. They don't go halfway to the stars, but close enough. 18x24, acrylic on canvas $250 I can also have high-quality paper prints made. $65 If interested, drop me an email.

Lilies dot the surface of Nymph Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. If you want to forget your worries, this is a good place to do it. 20x24, acrylic on canvas $295 If interested, drop me an email.

Here's a favorite place of mine -- the ruins of the Haha Tonka castle overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks near Camdenton, Mo. A Kansas City businessman began construction of the castle in 1905. He was killed in a traffic crash in 1906. His sons completed construction of the castle in the late 1920s. The family used it as a vacation home and later as a hotel before it burned in 1942.   20x24 acrylic on canvas $295 Quality prints available upon request

Another view of the Haha Tonka castle. 18x24 acrylic on canvas $295 Quality prints available upon request

Shoppers stock up on fresh fruits and veggies in front of the Rainbow House on Stockton Street in San Francisco. SOLD 16x20, acrylic on canvas Quality prints available on request. 

If you haven't noticed, I like old buildings. This one is the one-time commercial hub of a small town north of Springfield. Now it only soaks up shadow and light. 16x20, acrylic on canvas Price: $250 Email me if interested. Quality prints available on request.
