Buildings

Though I don't draw in an "architectural" style I find buildings fascinating, for, large or small, they are the monuments by which we define our lives

Cabin in the Woods

This Pennsylvania campsite drawing is one of a set of eight done on commission, to create an "art wall" of original pictures of favorite vacation spots. The set included views of Toronto, the Grand Canyon, Upper Yellowstone Falls, Cumberland Falls and the Tetons.

Painted Lady

This doorway has been refurbished to its turn-of-the-century elegance, when it served as the entryway to a wealthy family's home on Cleveland's east side, just one block away from famed Millionaire's Row on Euclid Avenue.

New Hampshire Farm

This farm dates to the mid-1800's. The barn's frame was built of hand-hewn timbers held together by wooden pegs. The supports for the main floor were oak trees five feet in diameter. Stanchions for dairy cows lined one side, work rooms the other, and a winter's supply of loose hay forked in by hand filled the lofts from side to side and front to back.

Cleveland Museum of Art

Set in the elegant surroundings of Cleveland's University Circle, the art museum contains a trove of unique art and artifacts representing mankind's great epochs, as well as the personal achievements of many of its greatest artisans. What a privilege to come here, to see free of charge such magnificence!
