St. Henry Parish is special to me because that's where I attend and because that's where so many other very fine people attend. Easter, being the joyous time it is, is an opportunity to see Father Rick at the pulpit, Father Charles and Deacon Del together in the same service. The whole church seems to take on the colors of Easter.

My dad, mom and my brother Tim (about to have a snow ball placed on his head by my dad) are just having fun after making Frosty. Tim asked me to paint this one because his little 2&quot;X2&quot; black and white photo of this scene was his favorite, and was probably taken by my older brother, Bill. Our father died about two years later and our mother died relatively young as well, so this painting is special.

This painting is of a few of the team members who were with him when they won an American softball national championship in 2002. I painted this from individual pictures of the girls with help from Elaine Hill and a few mothers for a surprise gift to Tim from the team. I made up the composition with wilder colors that depict the energy and desire these kids epitomize. This painting is completely watercolor and was truly a joy to complete, but so stressful when you try to capture the expressions and likenesses of kids you hardly know

This is a Christmastime scene in Meier &amp; Franks downtown. The young girl (Rachelle, daughter of one of my employees) can only dream of herself as a vivacious, sexy lady and cosmetics will be the quick fix. Transparent watercolor.

My older brother Bill is the ball player on the left, and the ball player on the right is John Eskildsen who was later the president of US Bank. This was the era before TV and events like this were the center of our lives. This scene actually took place after the real parade in Pat's Burlingame neighborhood, so the local kids could play a part too.

The apples, bowl, pitcher and table cloth were all in my home; so I didn't have to look far for inspiration. I've always loved the look of that pitcher with its delicate daisy pattern and its flowing lines that are so graceful. Contrasting red delicious apples against the green stripes of the bowl make for a delightful balance as does the very dark background pthalo blue and burnt sienna against the white of the bowl and pitcher. The table cloth folds in front of you to lead you into the painting.

			<a href="http://www.terrytoledo.com/_CLIENTS/mike_hill/?p=20&amp;pid=36" title="Early every morning in Lahaina the workers arrive to start the day at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I got up each morning and drove from Kihei into Lahaina just to catch the morning sunrise as it shined on this famous restaurant. Why go all the way to Maui and eat a burger? The answer is that its one of those neat things to do in Maui and the burgers are wonderful. A morning sunrise in Hawaii is rich in warm yellow hues and the shadows are long and protracted in the very early dawn. The streets are quiet, the people calm and the air is warm and fresh. What a wonderful time to capture in a painting.

World War I had just ended and we were proud to be Americans. Notice that everybody wore hats since sunglasses weren't a thing yet. Like so many of my paintings you'll see me in front of the fountain wearing a brown suit and helping to direct traffic. I wasn't really born until 1942, but there is more way than one way to make your place in history. This painting belongs to the Gresham Historical Society and was used in the Gresham Centennial Celebration in 2005 as a mural in the Gresham City Hall. During meetings this painting can be seen as a print nearly the size of a billboard.

With the sun shining through the windows on the third floor of Pioneer Place and all the decorations up I could feel a mismatch, but a wonderful one at that.

I love capturing the reflections of a great wax job, but most of all I think of each car as having a face. Most of us can readily see the eyes, nose and mouth of this car. Like any portrait you have to capture the expression and the eyes must feel as though you can see into them. Hard to see, but I'm reflected on the front fender to the right.

Whenever I spot a car with great reflections, I am terribly tempted to paint it. I prefer not to be an automobile portrait painter, but I like to be a reflection painter. I love the contrast between chrome and paint. I also have a nostalgic feeling about old cars that started when I was a little guy. I used to call them all jalopies; today they are that and much, much more.

The 1938 Mercedes Benz 540K was the car seen so often seen as the vehicle of choice by infamous Nazi dignitaries especially Hitler. While we all loathe everything about these terrible leaders, we cannot help admiring one of the grandest cars of all time. I painted this car with a dark background resembling the Black Forest of Germany and gave it a look of moonlight rather than sunlight, which I thought, was more appropriate. It is painted in transparent watercolor and gouache (opaque watercolor).

			<a href="http://www.terrytoledo.com/_CLIENTS/mike_hill/?p=13&amp;pid=35" title="Every year we go to Hawaii, and every year I see the Bird of Paradise in bloom; and yet I’ve never figured out how I want to paint them. This time I truly had fun composing a painting about these gorgeous flowers. “Nau ko u aloha” says something close to “ My love is Yours” in the native language. I did these words in gold leaf, because I felt they said so much about the feeling of the islands. The rest of the painting is watercolor.

			<a href="http://www.terrytoledo.com/_CLIENTS/mike_hill/?p=13&amp;pid=24" title="This is a print of a painting that received recognition in a national magazine and is a favorite of mine. It is the painting that is on one of my business cards and the painting I had chosen for my office reception area. The lilies were a gift to the office and I placed them near a sunny window, but felt secure in that the blinds would protect the delicate flowers from wilting. Much to my surprise I saw this magical light reflected all over this plant much like a crystal pattern. I loved what I saw and painted it on the spot.

Chaucer called it the &amp;#039;Daye&amp;#039;s Eye&amp;#039; from the eye of the day meaning the sun. I think I have captured both the warmth of the sun and the feeling of love that emanates from the daisy.

I was asked to submit my design with only a few days notice and I thus included a saxaphone as an alternative to the long heralded piano posters. The Rhodes were from Gresham &amp;#039;s City Park and if you look carefully in the sax you can see park surroundings. Mt Hood takes on a warm hue as does the lettering. This is the poster that just wasn&amp;#039;t to be. The committee went ahead with a piano motif instead.

It was so loaded with coconuts that I knew I’d be painting when I got back to my studio. This is my second palm painting and I think there will be more. The palm is all done in transparent watercolor and the background in gouache (opaque watercolor). Maalea Harbor is said to be the windiest harbor in the world and, in times past, a major harbor for the export of pineapple and other trade from the island. Today it is a great place for sailing, snorkeling and sport fishing excursions.

The sun highlights them and casts a hazy shadow against the warm brick wall. With the longer summers we&amp;#039;ve had lately, we now see two such bloomings before the fall chill comes.
