Cocoa Village Playhouse is one of my favorite places. The building is charming and I have enjoyed many of their productions. I hope you enjoy my painting of this beautiful historic building.

Cocoa Village Balconies

This is a painting I did recently for the "Drawing and Painting in Perspective" series of classes. It was drawn from a cropped photo of these charming Cocoa Village balconies. I used it to illustrate how to do perspective drawing from a photo. For such a simple painting, I think it turned out quite nicely.

Rosie's Place

Rosie's Place is a fun little painting I did as a classroom demo in the recent series of Waterscapes and Seascapes classes. The chartreuse door for Rosie's was a whimsical touch I added at the last minute. I hope you enjoy it. Maybe you could send me your version of the "story line" for Rosie's Place. What do you think the guy by the door is doing? Where do you think Rosie's Place is located?

This is a painting of a door in Paris. A walk on Boulevard St. Michel toward the river on the left bank is always fascinating, but I found the doors especially interesting They always seem to hide stories and make one wonder what happened behind all those doors. Most are private ones with double doors that open into a courtyard. But this one caught my eye because of the very modest hotel that caters to the students in the area. In years past, the time I spent in Paris was business related, but we returned there this spring for a vacation. We stayed in a little hotel on the left Bank, Hotel de Mine, across from Luxembourg Gardens. We walked a great deal and took some wonderful photos of the doors and the delightful cafes and bistros in the area.
