Gallery Exhibit – “”Fresh Paint, Hot Pots, Dressed Wood”
The latest exhibition of North Adams Artists Co-op continuing members’ latest masterpieces and the introduction of our newest members to the public. While “fresh paint” will fill the air with “just off the easel paintings”, “hot pots” will emerge from the kiln with surprises in store for both artist and viewer. My watercolor painting “Calla Lilies In Bold”, along with [...]
"Barn Snowscape" – new watercolor landscape painting
“5 x 7″ Private Collection This small work began as a study for a larger composition and took on a life of its own. The main challenge for this work and for the larger painting was in balancing the warm and cool areas and in unifying the colors. The background went in first with yellows, oranges and mixed violets for [...]
“Rural Route” – watercolor landscape painting
“Rural Route” 5″ x 22″ This watercolor painting is unusual in several ways. It began as a warm up excercise using an oddly shaped leftover piece of watercolor paper and leftover paint from the mixing areas of my studio palette. Using a single brush for the entire painting – one of my favorite 1″ flats (Winsor Newton Series 295 aquarelle) [...]

"Woods Edge – Afternoon" – watercolor landscape painting
5″ x 7″ Private Collection This small painting begun as a quick sketch study for a larger watercolor work. The painting itself has a nice feel on its own and so became a more finished work. This and other works on this site are available for purchase. Contact me if you have an interest in this or any other paintings [...]
“Uphill Farm” – New Watercolor Painting
“Uphill Farm“ 9″ x 13″ All of the recent snow has made begin to think of days when there is no snow on the ground. This work is the end result of a series of on site and exploratory sketches – the whole process is described on my artists’ blog. The work depicts bright sunshine and surprisingly spring-like color on [...]
