keene valley house dawn



Every morning during the summer I'm out walking with my dog and a cup of coffee before the sun rises over the mountain. I watch the dawn create dramatic shadows all through the town. It's gotten so I know where the sunlight will hit each house at the perfect time.The morning sun turns these pines a bright violet whenit travels down market st. 9x9in. oil sold

bouquet river from the hemlock forest Keene Valley series




There is a lovely hemlock forest on the way into Keene Valley that I visit often. I painted this in about an hour(10x10in). I had to work very fast to capture the light changes.It was a breakthrough painting in that I couldn't detail it and I used a heavy impasto style. sold
