Watercolor Sketch – Covered Bridge
4″ x 9″
$99
Since it has been non-stop snow here lately it has been hard to get outside for new material. In the case of this small watercolor painting, I went back to my sketch books. Covered bridges are plentiful in Vermont and are painted by many. It can be hard to take on a subject [...]
New Watercolor Painting – Early Winter Landscape
“Light Dusting”
10″ x 14″
$395
This scene could depict either the early time of winter when light snows begin to cover the fields, or late winter when the snow cover is receding. The title gives a hint that it is early winter and in fact that time of year is the inspiration. Unlike most of my work, [...]
"Barn Snowscape" – new watercolor landscape painting
“5 x 7″
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 [...]
“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 [...]
Watercolor Sketch – Winter Landscape
“Snow Cover Landscape”
5″ x 7″
$95
Having lived in Vermont for the past 20+ years has not made it easier for me to endure winter. It is long, cold and dark. Worse, there is usually not a warm spring with gentle rain and bright flowers as a reward. People from places that have warmer, or at least, [...]
“Farmyard” – New Watercolor Landscape Painting
“Farmyard”
9″ x 13″
$325
This is one of what I often describe as one of my “drive by” paintings. Most of my paintings are the result of series of sketches and studies that culminate in a so-called finished painting. Sketches completed on location are usually the starting point in this process, and I very much enjoy the [...]
"Woods Edge – Afternoon" – watercolor landscape painting
5″ x 7″
$95
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 [...]
New Autumn Landscape
“Golden Afternoon”
11″ x 15″
$425
This painting began as a way to experiment with a new color, Daniel Smith’s Quinacridone Deep Gold. My palette doesn’t change much in that I generally stick with colors and brands that I am used to, this one caught my eye while browsing the Daniel Smith catalog. Once the paint arrived, I [...]
New Work, Designing Winter
“Farm In Winter”
9″ x 12″
Don’t get the wrong impression, I am not pining for winter. Although I am not a winter sort of guy - I exist mostly indoors with a mug of hot tea not far away from December to April – there are many things that I find very paintable in the winter [...]
New Summer Work
“Along The Way”
9″ x 13″
Unframed
$235
It’s been almost two months to the day since the last post!? Summer is a busy season for me with exhibits, shows and fairs. The unfortunate reality is that actual painting time tends to get squeezed. I have been more productive lately, with a number of works in progress and [...]
New Painting Celebrates the Change of Season
“Equinox Road”
20″h x 27″W
This work is available – contact me for more information
This work, with its final details and adjustments made only a few days ago, represents the final statement of a series of explorations in paint. It’s title, as well as the painting itself is more metaphorical than literal. The idea [...]
My Painting Process Illustrated
There is a new watercolor painting “on the board”, as I like to put it. The paintings that I create in the studio are stretched on gator board, so anything that I am currently working on is “on the board”. While the painting is not complete, I often get asked about the process creating a [...]
