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.

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.

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.
