The Big Red Barn
The Red Barn, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel. A partial view of a big red barn. That's Mt. Greylock in the background on the right. I blocked it in on site but had to finish it in the studio.

The Big Rock
Little Pleasant Bay, Orleans, MA. 11x14 inches, oil on linen canvas. Presumably a glacier left that big rock at the shoreline.

Still Life Drawing
Still Life. 9x12 inches, pencil on paper. I prefer still lifes like this one, where everything is where I found it, nothing arranged. I'm tempted to call this an insomnia drawing since I did it in the wee hours of the morning.

Road Squiggles
Pattison Road, North Adams, MA. 6x8 inches, gouache and watercolor on watercolor paper. This is near where Luce Road in Williamstown changes to Pattison Road in North Adams. The tar squiggles preserve the cracks and reflect the sky.

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.
