"High Noon"


I headed up north for this piece. A nice, quiet farm called Muster Field Farm in Sutton, NH. It was a perfect day and this scene was out back behind some buildings. Such a perfect day. This is a two hour study that came out quite well. It's simple, with nice colors and easy on the eyes. Thanks for visiting!

"Wonder Woman"


This is the character Wonder Woman as played by the actress Gal Gadot. I really enjoyed sketching this piece and it seemed to just flow and come out quite easily. I did this over about 5 sessions which was a total of about 8 hours. She is so beautiful and I love the character in the movie. Thanks for visiting!

"Hollis Library"


Sketched on site in my favorite old lawn chair with my backpack of drawing supplies. I was in a very small town common area which is quite quaint. The sun kept coming in and out so I made the best of it at the end. Thanks for visiting!

"River Scene"


Another scene along the Merrimack river right near my house. Very nice place to visit. Just a few days later there was no beach as we had so much rain. The river is always rising and falling. A quick half hour sketch in vine charcoal. Thanks for visiting!

"Walk with Me"


I really enjoyed this piece and I think it came out quite well. I like the different dark and light values and how the path in the grass pulls you into the scene where the old shed is hidden amongst the trees. This was sketched on one of my favorite properties in Hollis, NH. Thanks for visiting!


"Covered Bridge, Sunny Day"


A very hot day for this one. I was getting boiled alive while sitting in my lawn chair dedicated to rendering this scene! This bridge was rebuilt so it's brand new. I have pics and drawings/paintings of the older one. A nice old covered bridge in a small town. What a treat. Thanks for visiting!


"Hollis Homestead"


This is a beautiful site in Hollis, NH where the city bought this old farm property. I go here often as there are a few buildings being swallowed up by nature and they look so natural. The property is so nice and varied. I love sketching there. This piece came together well with subtle shadows and plenty of variety. Thanks for visiting!


"Mine Falls Reflections"


Another plein air piece (sketched on site). I put a little more detail than I usually do as there were many elements man made. But there are some loose spots as well. Very hot that day and clear and sunny. Very rewarding session! Thanks for visiting!
