Birch Trees After a Rain.

 

 

A summer thunderstorm came through Keene Valley and wonderful mists arose out of the woods. 9x9in pastel

Lake Cascade

 A small pastel of view down the length of Cascade Lake at the foot of Mt. Cascade. Pitchoff is on the left. It was cool day and the birch trees were just beginning to leaf and were almost purple in color. I'm told the birches are slowly dying out  here because of  the salting of the winter road. 9x9 pastel on sanded paper

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

Morning Clouds

 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 .
