'In the Mood' oil on canvas ,16x20 $650
Memories of the Big Band era music that played in our home during my childhood inspired this painting. Like many couples, my parents married during WWII, so when I found a picture of them taken at Jack Dempsey's in New York City in 1942, I knew some of the mood and style I wanted to convey in a painting.
In the painting my parents are in the midst of a long kiss. The nightclub is packed with dancing, smoking and drinking servicemen and women having that last good time to remember or saying what might be a final goodbye. According to one source: 'Glenn Miller wrote 'In the Mood' during the war to entertain the soldiers a little bit, to make them think of something different'. I too wanted this painting to be about that era's music and dance and not just about the war. The gal in the red dress? Well, for every era there is always a gal in a red dress!
Thanks for stopping by. -Pat

My hands were shakey when I snapped this picture of happy honeymooners who 'fished' around the show and bought my three paintings of Dad Bull's antique Lures. They were very excited to purchase original fine art for their new home and I was excited for them. The 'LURES' Series (in focus)can be seen here to the right.

These are some of the landscapes from rural New York State which were included in my solo exhibition at the Elwood Museum. The painting above is called 'Summer Pasture'. Although fashioned after a classical painting, this is a familiar landscape from my childhood. Winters could be bleak up there in Oswego County but, summer always came, right on time.
