Studio Updates
New: “Seagrass”
This is the time of year when late fall and winter winds move dunes. This house is on the shore of Cape Cod Bay, in Dennis, and is almost never not submerged in the backside of a dune. As time goes on, seagrass takes root, which tends to lock the dune in place. “Seagreass” 16
New: “Birch Grove”
Love this time of year, when the leaves have fallen, and the vertical lines of leafless trees make up the landscape. “Birch Grove” 24 x 24 o/c
New: “Broadside”
This barn is a few miles from home. It was once an active farm stand, owned and run by an old farmer who meticulously maintained his land and buildings. It has since been bought and sold several times, and each time, the property becomes more neglected. The barn is at a sharp bend in the
New: “Northern Ridge”
I wanted the palette of this piece to be warm and a bit mysterious, the way the last light of day tends to color the landscape in warm hues, and blurs the line between foreground and background. “Northern Ridge” 36 x 48 o/c
New: “Vermont Garden”
There’s nothing like Autumn in New England, especially in Vermont. I’ve seen this place many times, in all seasons, but it at its most vibrant this time of year. “Vermont Garden” 36 x 24
New: “Goldlight”
The late afternoon light these past few days has cast everything in a warm golden light, and has amplified the autumn foliage. This piece was clearly inspired by that late day sun. “Goldlight” 48 x 36
New: “Mid October”
The weather these past few days have been the definition of October in New England. Cool, sunny, bright blue skies and fiery colors of fall foliage. Inspiration enough for a smaller study for a larger piece… “Mid October” 12 x 12 o/c
New: “Evening Sun”
New piece based on a scene in Vermont, which is currently either at peak, or just past peak, with hills and mountains on fire with fall color. “Evening Sun” 36 x 36 o/c.
Smaller piece done as a color study for larger canvas…”Mountain Dusk (study)” 12 x 12
New: “Mountain Shade”
I lived for a half a year in Vermont, in an old farmhouse across Route 10 from the Mad River. The house sat in a valley, flanked by mountain ridges to my east and west. Being that low, at river level, daylight was shortened by the these looming hills. As the sun rose, or as
