Arles Street Scene

 Arles, France. 16x20 inches, oil on linen canvas.

This Old Tree

This old tree has seen many people pass by where it stands in front of the barn at Haley Farm next to the path leading to multiple trailheads.  It's located at the end of Hopper Road in Williamstown, MA.  The weather forecast calls for days of rain, so I painted outside yesterday while I could despite the waning sun.  9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel.  

Painting At The Edge

Part of the day I spent painting at the edge of Oblong Road near Sloan Road in Williamstown, MA. I want to thank the driver of the huge truck who three times passed by and slowed down each time to stop the dust cloud following his vehicle.  9x12 inches, oil on gessobord.

Dancing with the Light

This afternoon I tried dancing with the light, but it wasn't dancing with me.  I was at the top of Sheep Hill in Williamstown, MA.  9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel.

The Garden at the Franciscan Monastery

The garden at the Franciscan monastery in Cimiez, Nice, France, a quiet place from where one can see the city below. 16x20 inches, oil on linen canvas.

The Falls at Mount Hope Park

Another beautiful day, another plein air painting.  I seem to be attracted to water, in this case, the falls at Mount Hope Park in Williamstown, MA.  9x12 inches, oil on gessobord.

Simple Painting

Simple painting, simple view just off Route 43 near the first bridge over the Green River from the Five Corners in Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel.

At the End of Hopper Road

Evey year I try to paint this truck at least once.  Since the early 90's, it's been standing in a cow pasture at the end of Hopper Road in Williamstown, MA.  9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel.

Paean To Summer

The old milk shed, the hay bales, and the view across the fields to the mountains of Florida and Savoy, are just down the road from the long barn on Luce Road in Williamstown, MA.  This is also another paean to the colors of summer.  16x20 inches, oil on linen panel.

On A Summer Evening

The long barn on Luce Road in Williamstown, MA on a summer evening.  18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.

The Reflected Sky

The weather was nice today so I went back to the stony beach on the Hoosic River in Williamstown, MA.  The water was higher than the last time I was there, but there's still nothing yet to see on the trees and bushes. I'm attracted to the river because of the colors of the reflected sky and grassy banks. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.

Later In Spring

A painting that looks forward to a later time in spring on Sloan Road in Williamstown, MA. 18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.
