Studio Updates
New: “Saplings”

New, smaller piece that started with the intent to edited out the trees, but ultimately became a piece mostly about the trees themselves. “Saplings” 24 x 24
New: “Morning Shade”

The woods behind my house block the morning sun from the farm across the street in early morning, but eventually illuminate the meadow and barns as the sun rises higher. “Morning Shade” 30 x 40 o/c.
New: “Woodland”

One of our neighbors down the road recently cleared several acres of dense forest, to reveal the original meadow and stone walls of the old farmland he owns, which over the decades, slowly disappeared as the trees grew to maturity. The new open space has changed the landscape, I feel for the better, as the
New: “Spring Budding”

In the local meadows and fields around our town, there’s a period of a five or six days when the buds of maple and oak trees catch the late day sun and give them an almost autumn feel. “Spring Budding” 30 x 40 o/c

This old barn sat beside the main house, and had been reluctantly slated for demolition, as it was beyond repair and becoming a safety hazard. They asked for a piece that
New: “Underhill”

I almost never name paintings after actual places. But when I came across this scene in Underhill, Vermont, the village name seemed to perfectly suit the piece. “Underhill” 36 x 48 o/c.
