A while back, I think I mentioned that my first lessons were with an old gentleman named Dirk Smit, who passed away about twenty years ago or so. Dirk is fairly well remembered as a Chicago and Indiana painter. I owned several of his works over the years; he was, and is, one of my inspirations. The scene above was one of his favorite subjects, I have seen at least five or six variations. One day we painted in his studio, and I did this from one of his sketches. Memories! Mike
