Morning Walk,Keene Valley

 Each morning at dawn I walk about the town to catch the morning light as it travels up the street in Keene Valley,NY. This fellow came out to get his paper and told me the story that he recently bought the house not knowing it originally belonged to his grandmother many years ago.  12x12in oil

 Painting early morning on the Okatie River in S.Carolina. I am on the end of a pier shaded by a roof looking across the river from the Oldfield Club where I have been staying. The thuderheads rolled swiftly by as two dolphins surfaced on their hunt. An exceptional morning. Not too hot. Nice breeze.  12x12in oil on birch panel .

Plumtree Run

This little stream flows behind my house. I hiked my stuff down to a little waterfall just past a wooden bridge and painted. Good to get outdoors again. I enjoy trying to capture movement, interlocking forms and simplifying all the information(details) until I'm left with a visual record of a peaceful moment .10x10in oil
