These are some of the ideas that have been fermenting in my brain about PAINTINGS

The utility shaft of the CSO project, Providence

I am now working on a series that has to do with machinery and drawings from a WWI SCRAPBOOK of photographs of airplane parts put together by a Russian soldier, who was an artist in his composition. I also may incorporate photos taken when I had a chance to go down 250 feet into solid bedrock into the huge TUNNEL they began to drill in 2003 under downtown Providence for the sewer overflow project. I took a lot of photos and plan to do paintings of the tunnel and massive machinery involved.

I'm rather intrigued by a little hidden river called the RUNNINS RIVER which begins in Seekonk and runs into Hundred Acre Cove in Barrington. I'd like to walk as much of it's bank as possible and do a series of paintings of it.
