What's the Catch? - #71611

20 x 25 inches Charcoal on lt blue grey Canson Tientes paper

$325 + S/H (rolled in tube)

I did this large drawing in Maine in June and forgot to post.
The fish are kept below the water in the floating boxes on the side.
I really enjoyed the shapes of everything and getting the perspective.

Moss Glen Falls, Granville VT- #71511

Each 11 x 14 inches Oil on canvas board

These are two separate paintings.

$325. free ship in US (painting on left)

A producer at Chronicle WCVB TV, the half hour New England magazine show that airs on the ABC television affiliate in Boston contacted me to film my class here this week!

He's working on a show, using waterfalls as the connecting theme,
including a number of different elements along the way.( Let's hear it for plein air daily painters!)
I went the day before filming to have one nearly completed,
and a start for another, similar to show the progression.

This was stage before they filmed, with the water yet to be painted in. It's always easier to add the lightest color last and have some of the darks a bit drier so the color lays down.

A gorgeous day in Granville Vermont at the Moss Glen Falls along Rt 100. They are hoping to have it ready to show by September. I'll pass on the date when they let me know!

This local was hot from haying, and came here to cool off the day before the filming!

Whispering Lemons - #62111

6 x 6 inches Oil on Birch Ply

Again, this was from Colin Page 20 minute exercise, his was first 20 minute lay in of lemons that I felt needed more contrast with background, and right lemon didn't get finished. Brevity of brushstrokes, stepping away from canvas between strokes, taking a long breath... Making every mark count and as accurate to color value as possible. Adjust as you go.
