Steep Sheep Hill View

Sheep Hill View, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on canvas panel.  Imagine standing at your easel with your left foot about three inches lower than your right foot.  I did a lot of compensatory walking around and uphill to look at the painting's progress and stop my feet from hurting.

The View West

Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, oil on canvas panel.  This is the view west to a mountain in the Taconic range from a North Trail path.  Directly behind me farther away is Greylock. 

Spring Street Light

My Constant Motif

Simple and Sweet

Greylock from Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  I suppose I am attracted to Field Farm because I can see the mountain from most of its many shady spots. This afternoon's painting I tried to keep simple and sweet.

Between Thunderstorms

Hybrid Landscape

Sheep Hill View from a Shady Spot
