Studio Updates
New: “Upper Meadow”
While working on a recent commission, I found a scene of the same location, but from a very different angle, which was more about the landscape, than the barn itself. “Upper Meadow” 30 x 40 o/c
New: “Southern Rose”
Sometimes smaller pieces need to be made into bigger pieces. A smaller version of this piece, “Pastel Morning” was completed, and it seemed to want to be bigger, so, made it bigger…”Southern Rose” 40 x 40
New: “Dutchess”
Recently completed a larger commission of a barn on an amazing property in Dutchess County, New York. I’ve been to that part of the state a few times, and have seen some of the most amazing farms there. This smaller piece was done of that same barn, from a different angle, and considerably smaller. “Dutchess”
New: “Beautiful Day”
Past couple days have been absolute perfection, weather-wise. Clear blue skies, mild, bright sun. Appropriate weather for this recently completed piece…”Beautiful Day” 30 x 40 o/c.
New Commission: “Northern Garden”
Spent a good chunk of time this Labor Day weekend finishing up a larger commission. When a commission starts with great buyers, great input, great subject matter, and a beautiful home where the resulting piece will reside, you have the perfect recipe for a successful piece. This larger canvas, done for a home in Dutchess
New: “Upstate”
Every now and then, buyers will send photos of scenes they’ve come across, that they thought I’d like to see as inspiration for a piece. I was sent a photo by a collector on Martha’s Vineyard, of a scene he came across in Upstate New York… “Upstate” 24 x 24
New: “Upcountry Dusk” Commission
Latest completed commission, “Upcountry Dusk” 54 x 60. I love working with buyers who commission pieces for specific locations in their homes. Mocking up work to find the perfect dimensions for a piece is the first step, followed by developing the composition, and the palette. Then painting towards the finish line.
New: “Meadowstripe”
With a larger commission about to be started, I’m doing a couple smaller pieces to experiment with palettes that will be used in the final piece. This is one example. The composition of the commission is entirely different, but by doing smaller pieces with palettes that have been discussed, it gives the buyer a sense
New: “Beached”
Came across this scene years ago, somewhere on the Cape…I think in Chatham…and took a photo as reference for a future painting. Did a smaller piece based on this scene years ago, but came across the photo again, and felt it warranted being painted on a larger canvas. On the Cape, at any bay, cove,
New: “Fallow Field”
A local farm alternates fields each spring, leaving some empty to sit out the season, to recharge, and to host whatever wants to grow there naturally. The others, which took the year off, are plowed and seeded. “Fallow Field” 24 x 24
