Hay Bales by Furnace Mountain
Apr 12, 2015
Hay Bales by Furnace Mountain. 9x12, oil on linen panel. 2015 On the way home from a paint out last fall I stopped at the Point of Rocks boat ramp. Although nothing about the river caught my eye, on the way out I noticed a mowed field by the side of the ramp access road and felt it had some potentia...
Wicket

Wicket. 12x12, oil on linen panel. 2015. The wild rabbits living in our neighborhood are always at risk of being painted.

Portrait of 817. 12x12, oil on linen panel. 2015 This is another painting on a medium texture linen.

Sierra Lane, Looking West
Mar 11, 2015
Sierra Lane Looking West. 9x12, oil on linen panel. 2015 If you're a regular traveler to Lovettsville, VA on route 287 you will probably recognize this scene - it's the field at Sierra Lane, looking towards Short Hill/South Mountain. I wandered around in the field after a recent snowfall to tr...
