Blueberry Lake Reflection


12 x 12 inches Oil on wood

I cropped each of these and didn't realize there was one done earlier. So here's to show how differently editing can affect the end result as a picture!

I'd better choose the color corrected one !

Vernal Pool Reflection


14 x 14 x 1.5 inches Oil on birch



Really infatuated with the reflective colors,
the dispursement of light ~with the rain
lightly falling as well as the wind
shaking the water from the canopy of trees.
It's another rainy day in Maine, so
I'm taking advantage of the
mysteries in the woods.
The ocean waves are tremendous.
Painted 6.22.09

Laundry with Rug



12 x 12 inches Oil on canvas





$595. + S/H

Ok, a break in the weather momentarily,
over weekend,
after catching another vernal pool in
the woods in the morning.
I love the contrast from shadows
and the abstract shapes
all over.

Rain Pool



14 x 14 x 1.5 inches Oil on birch panel



This was what I thought was final but then I
wanted the water darker, so I redid it to one above.
I sacrificed some of the freshness, and reds and pinks
especially in the top left. I also broke up the
shape coming in from the right which
I didn't want as the focal point.





It was raining all morning till mid afternoon, and the
droplets were making great rings in this vernal pool.
Mosquitoes abound in Maine this time of year needless
to say. I was fascinated by the reflection, the patterns and
the low contrast with a myriad of colors in the woods.

Blazing Maple


16" x 16" Oil

These maple trees by the dirt road are just down the road
from me, and compliment the mountains this time of year!
It is such a nice contrast to the upcoming quietness of winter.

Fall Field (final)


6" x 6" Oil on masonite

This is slightly changed from original post on
October 15. I didn't get a photo of it the day
I stood there, and next day the field was mowed.
It's stunning to see the changes with the seasons.
It looks like a lawn now.

The road less traveled. The brilliant color harmony
of the maple tree against the sky was brilliant.

Panning for Gold

3" x 4" Oil





$99. + S/H
This is from my figure and nude gesture studies.
I delight in the spontaneous recording of a pose, and
whatever colors are chosen, if they reflect values
is fine with me. This particular one is more natural
than I usually do only because the skin tones were
so interesting with the shadows.

Tahitian model


10 x 10" Oil





$120. + S/H
Well not certain of her ancestry, but went to the MET
last weekend in NYC and found this detail of
a Gauguin that kind of reminds me of her .The Rembrandt show is on exhibit at the MET
with over 200 paintings from his era including
some outstanding Vemeer's!

No substitute for looking at the REAL THING!
