"Winter Farm"

I don't know where this is exactly as my records were not as robust when I first started painting and this is an earlier piece. But no matter, it's a nice winter farm along a snowy road. The ranch style fence leads you into the farm area and a couple of nice trees along the way. Thanks for visiting!

 "Home Sweet Home"

This is the house I grew up in. I painted this quite a while ago as a gift for my mom. It was early in my career and I was painting in acrylic at the time. It was a hard project with all the dappled light and dark leaves and branches in the canopy. I believe I worked it out pretty well. My mom has since died so the painting comes back to me. My sister wants to purchase it so now it will have a permanent home. Thanks for visiting!

"Brook In The Forest" 

A forest scene along a stream. This area is right in my hometown in Twin Bridge Park. It was a beautiful day and I was in the shade the whole time so I was very comfortable. It was a peaceful experience and I enjoyed the trip. This is mainly in charcoal pencil (soft), #2, #4, #6 and kneaded eraser. The finished work seems to have a woodsy feel to it. Thanks for visiting!

 "Curious Deer"

Did a painting of a deer I photographed in Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA one morning when I was taking a short hike. The deer was kind enough to stay there while I patiently put my zoom lens on my camera. After a couple shots he took off. I added a lot of broken color for an impressionistic effect. Thanks for visiting!

"Beauty In The Country"

This is one of my favorite places to visit. It's in New Boston, NH right along Rt 13. I set up my easel right by the riverside and sketched the scene. I did this one all prima. All in one sitting. I like the loose look and the scenery is beautiful. Thanks for visiting!

 "South Park, Summer after Christensen"

This is my version of Scott Christensen's painting and composition. I wanted to take a challenge and see if I could figure out colors, values, edges, etc. My version of his composition. I had fun with this. Just an exercise. Thanks for visiting!

"Autumn Sunshine"

A beautiful colorful scene in the Fall of an old horse pasture in my home town. I really love how the trees are so varied and laid out in a certain way. Very appealing to me. The sky has a lot going for it too with all the colors, values and blustery look. Thanks for visiting!
