Acton Cove, off Spa Creek. Annapolis

 I was walking in Annapolis one afternoon near West St. and came upon this scene that  reminded me so much of a Sisely painting that I thought I would attempt it in similar impressionist style. The day was slightly overcast so I put a lot of  very pale complimentary pinks and blues in the sky. 11x15 pastel  

Along the Boquet R.

 A river study painted along the Boquet River in Keene Valley NY. My favorite spot in a forest of Hemlocks. Rainy, overcast day. 10x10in oil on board

Maggie in the Woods

 Spent the morning painting in the woods with Bear Miller. This waterfall is right behind his house in the Adirondacks. As I was sketching it Maggie laid down in the foreground.  Had to paint her. 9x12 oil

Noonmark Mt (from Ausable Club)

 As you drive to the trailhead to start your hike up Noonmark Mt. the road takes you through the Ausable Club where you can glimpse the peak. 12x17in pastel  SOLD 

Marcy Field

 This is just one of the grandest vistas in the Adk's. Marcy field is actually used as an airstrip. On Sundays this field is the home of a terrific farmers market.The little white house has been renovated and now  serves as a gallery for the High Peaks Artists of Keene Valley.  SOLD at High Peaks show

The Pond

 A little reflective plein air on a hot day. 11x14in oil

Keene Valley House

 I have painted this house many times because of the way the morning and evening sun hits it.  It has become such a wonderful study in light and shadow and summarizing the landscape. I take away as much as I can, for instance, no lines for clapboards. It's a small painting that I do with a big brush (#4 or #6).  10x10in oil on board.  SOLD
