These maple trees by the dirt road are just down the road

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.

Spruce Mountain from Marshfield VT

16" x 16" Oil - SOLD

This was started last weekend (after a dedication
of the land to the town), but the
fantastic sky kept changing and I was distacted
by its drama. I guess that's why value studies
are a good idea, to set the stage. I did take some
photos and will follow up with this painting. It feels like
only the shapes were really put in and not much of the form.

This site is newly acquired in the Vermont Land Trust
for the Town of Marshfield, Vermont. Susan Abbott a wonderful artist, organized
a paint out to raise funds to complete
the purchase for a January 2008 auction.

Not sure this doesn't need more clarification

Knoll Farm

(top reposted for final)

Knoll Farm is a working family farm of hardwood forests and hillside meadows overlooking the Green Mountains in the Mad River Valley of Vermont. Their land and buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, and conserved by the Vermont Land Trust. They are the base for Center for Whole Communities, a learning and retreat center for activists that was founded by the owners of the farm, Peter Forbes and Helen Whybrow.

to which I am most grateful)

Temps in the forties, so wearing gloves, hat and coat.
Plein air not for the weak.
