new paintings

I’m finding it easier to start paintings than to finish them.

I’m not sure if this is a monster robot or a cityscape.

This one is more planned. It’s an interpretation of this photo I took for reference.

The tree rising above the houses is an ancient oak tree, easily a yard in diameter. It’s probably one of the oldest trees in Lansing, and I’ve always thought of it as the daddy tree in the neighborhood, watching over all the younger creatures.
