Capturing Stuff

Field Farm, Williamstown, MA.  9x12 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.   The turbulent brush marks capture the stuff in the field and sky.

Towards the Light

Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  From the path I looked through a row of trees towards the light.

Autumn Pond

The Pond at Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  I worked quickly on this one chasing the light.

 

In The Afternoon

Pond, Grafton, MA. 9x12 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.  A small, round pond that I visit with painting materials when I can. The light was gorgeous in the afternoon yesterday.

Not Much Can

Stone Hill View, Williamstown, MA. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  Not much can compete with painting outside, high up on a hill, in the warm autumn sunshine. 

The Same Spot

The Pond at Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  I went back to the same spot where I painted a couple weeks ago and did it again.

Nubble Lighthouse

 Nubble Lighthouse, York, ME.  16x20 inches, oil on linen canvas.  

Ogunquit Edges

 Evening Sea, Ogunquit. 12x16 inches, oil on canvas panel.  Two edges. Some are abrupt.

A Tree Drawing

A Tree, Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 12x9 inches, charcoal pencil on paper.  A lifeless tree is very much alive.

A Blue Sea

The Mediterranean Sea at Cap Ferrat.  12x16 inches, oil on canvas panel.  I've always liked the words of Cezanne to Pissarro about painting the sea at L'Estaque: "red roofs against a blue sea," signifying the simplicity required for painting in the brilliant light of the south of France. 

Little Pleasant Bay

Little Pleasant Bay, Orleans, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  An August plein air painting not previously posted.  

The Tide and the Sun
