Today's painting is not of Detroit, but is of a scene from my childhood. This painting is of the lime plant that my Grandfather worked at, it was about a mile down the road from where I attended grade and middle school. Maybe that is why I like painting Detroit and the industrial scene so much. Early childhood memories.

Something a little different for today's painting. I was looking at the book, 'Pioneering Modern Painting: Cezanne and Pissarro' at the Museum of Modern Art, and got inspired to do a landscape with some lush greens, it's not France but still beautiful country.

Today's painting is the first of a series of 1oo paintings of abandoned buildings or houses in Detroit. As I am driving around Detroit looking for subjects to paint, I am always amazed at how many abandoned buildings there are. Many of these have been empty for a long time-not just from the current downturn but has this has been an ongoing problem for our city for many years. I may do a book on these images when I finish the project.
