It was a misty purple pink night when I started this painting. The fog rolled in and I could not see a thing. I thought I was done for the night, and started packing. When I turned around the fog was gone. I painted bundled up under an umbrella on a couple nights. It thought that 43 degrees was cold.

This scene is a bird's eye view of Saint Paul from the second level of the Wabasha bridge.

This is a studio painting based on the outdoor paintings. This scene, from the second level steps of the Wabasha Bridge at Raspberry Island, was inspired by a photo I took of the Anson Northrup Riverboat as it musically passed by one evening.

Dawn view of Saint Paul from a landing on the Wabasha Bridge. The flag is raised by the little blue house, and the train bridge is up to let the barges pass through.
