"Restful Place"


Another scene on an abandoned farm of a friend of mine. They have since sold the property. There are endless possibilities for motifs at this place. No one is usually around either. I particularly like the bush to the left of the building. I like the colors and values. The background trees aren't bad either. Needs some minor touch ups. Thanks for visiting!
"Across the Field"


I pushed the color on this one and had some fun. I stood out in this field on a kind of road through the grass. I like the tree a lot but I need to shrink the house a bit, fix the 'road' leading to it and work on the background a little more. Anyway, it was a fun experience. Thanks for visiting!
"Behind the Shed"


It was a hot and muggy day when I set up in back of this shed. The sun was in and out so it was mostly high overcast. I pushed the color on this one. Needs more work. Thanks for visiting!
"Off in the Distance"


This is known as the Heritage Trail and it goes all through New England. This small section is along the Merrimack river in Bedford, NH. The middle section of the drawing looks like a stream but is actually a walking path. Didn't notice while I was sketching it! Thanks for visiting!
"Church in the Distance"


I sat along the Nashua river in the downtown area of Nashua, NH and sketched this piece on a beautiful early summer day. It's a little busy but the church looks pretty good in the distance. Thanks for visiting!
"River's Edge"


I joined a few people in Lambert Park in Hooksett, NH for a painting expedition. This is my piece. Was fun painting it and I enjoyed the whole experience. It was quite hot and humid. It was high overcast but the sun tried coming out later with some blue sky and it got really hot then. May need some touchups. Thanks for visiting!
"Long Summer Day"



This is along a stream just off a main street in Jackson, NH. It was an unbelievable day and I enjoyed the experience even though I was very fatigued. A nice colorful scene with a natural opening to look into the distance. Probably will touch it up a bit. Thanks for visiting!
