There once was an artist named Sam Savitt. I first heard about him when I was
in 3rd grade at a book fair. I bought a horse sticker book. He was the artist and
illustrator. I still have the book.
I finally had an opportunity to take a workshop with Sam Savitt when I did this
painting. He did three brushstrokes in it.

While wandering in the town of
Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany I
found the back door of a restaraunt. The
shadows intrigued me so I took a photo.
When I was working on this painting a
few years later I decided to add a little
cat who is perhaps waiting for some
scraps from a kind-hearted person in
the kitchen.

The painting on the right was inspired
by a photo I took during a trip to Kiev,
Ukraine. There is an open-air museum
called Pirogovo.
I didn’t get to go for a carriage ride
myself, but thanks to someone else
who did I was able to take a wonderful
reference photo to work from a few
years later.
One rainy afternoon I
wanted to do some plein
air painting. So I sat in my
car and painted this
charming little scene
through the front
windshield.
