"By The River In April"

This was finished in about an hour on a cool Spring day in April. There was snow on the ground and it was very bright. That is what I wanted to capture - the blazing, bright light amongst the trees. The shadows help emphasize that. The trees are on the edge of a river bank as you can see in the front as the shadows drop down to the water. A nice, little sketch. Thanks for visiting!

"Trees in Watson Park"

An array of trees at the top of a bank over the Souhegan Rive in downtown Merrimack, NH. I love to capture the wildness of nature and leave some of the view to the imagination. I enjoy using charcoal for different effects on the paper surface. So many varieties of shapes and aesthetics. Thanks for visiting!

 "Mine Falls Above Oxbow Lake"

A quick sketch done on site (en plein air) with charcoal pencil. It's a beautiful park in a town nearby my home town. Always enjoy visiting Mine Falls  Park. This piece has got quite a sketchy feel but captures the true scene where you can cross the bridge or continue onward... Thanks for visiting!
