Window Study #3

4" x 6" original watercolor
SOLD

I am continuing my interior light study. I am intrigued
by the play of dramatic light across the floor and the pew.
There is a special patina to the wood found in the Hancock
Shaker Village and I have painted it often.

Window Study #2

4" x 6" original watercolor
SOLD

I often study the play of light outside so I came
inside today. Drama... this window features
sunlight flooding into a darkened space.
The interior shutters offer a natural frame
for the subject.

Friday update...on Thursday!

I will not have a new painting for Friday this week.
My first show of the season is this weekend. I am
packed and leaving in the morning for Frederick, MD.
So, if you are anywhere in Maryland stop out and say
hello.

Cabin Fever Festival is held at the Frederick Fairgrounds.
Sat. 10-6 and Sun. 10-5 there is a coupon at:

The show features an odd mix of crafty crafts and nice quality.
The choices this time of year are slim but a living must be made!

Still Life #2

I am back to a still life. Today I am offering you
a muted study of a pewter tankard on a writing
table. Don't miss the night scene outside the window!

Peppers #1

5" x 5" original watercolor

I needed a change! These vibrant peppers were waiting to
be discovered in my kitchen. I had to stop what I was
working on to give them some attention!

Still Life #1

6" x 4" original watercolor
SOLD

A traditional, historical subject bathed in a classic light
and shadow.This watercolor highlights my knack for
finding just the right time of day to paint. It features
pieces from one of my favorite places to get subject matter,
Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, MA

Warm Spot #2

4" x 6" original watercolor
SOLD

I have painted another watercolor using the sun
to highlight my subject. The building is a historic
farm in Lancaster, PA. The unseen maple trees
allow dappled light to shine through.

Friday update...

This week was hectic at my house.
The weather here in PA was cold, and I
don't like the cold! My themes this week were
very enjoyable. At my frantic pace everything
seems to explode off the end of the brush.
I explored a variety of compositions that I hope
you feel I achieved some success with. It is now
time for an indoor ride on my rollers! See you Monday.

Contrast Study #1

5" x 5" original watercolor - sold

I departed from my usual style today.
Changing your frame of reference, I painted an
upstairs skylight. You are placed under the stairs while
looking up,to give you a sensation of height.

I was drawn to this composition because of the texture
of the stone. It was a challenge to paint and hugely
satisfying to complete.
