Painting at "Fadley's Landing"

 

 On a beautiful last day of Summer traveled down to the Severn and painted this little sketch of Brewers Pond from Mr. Fadley's backyard. It turned into a little 19th cen-like ptg and looks great in a gold frame.This is part of my Peninsula series. Mr. Fadley's property lies on an incredibly serene hidden pond off the Severn. 5pm 8x8 oil on birch panel  

Havre de Grace Lockhouse

 Painted this little sketch around 6pm on site along the Susquehanna river. Nice night except Maggie rolled in a dead catfish and stunk to high heaven! Good thing I never travel without Dr Bronners peppermint soap.9x12in oil  

Johns Brook Afternoon

On our last day in the Adirondacks we traveled down the Johns Brook with Bear Miller and painted streamside. A great, clear bright day. 9x12in oil

Gale Force at Chapel Pond

 Maggie inspecting after everything blew over. 

Went out to Chapel Pond to greet the dawn and paint. Vry strong winds were coming directly at me and I had my light easel so I painted with one hand and held on with the other. Had a great time, though, chasing the clouds until I let to get some paint out of my bag and a big gust took it all away. Stayed on the easel, though and didn't get dirty. Just set back up and painted some more. I got pretty messy though. What a great way to start the day!

Painting on Phelps Brook with Maggie.

 

Bear Rock

 Yesterday we spent the day painting on Phelps Brook behind Bear Miller's home. This rock figures in many of Bear's paintings so I titled it Bear Rock, it is also bare rock and it resembles a bear. The rules state "never put your subject in the middle" but I thought it worked in a square. 10x10in oil on canvas
