When I arrived the sun was already disappearing except on the distant mountains, so I decided to paint the sky first, since the rest was already or would be soon in shadow. By the time I had finished and reached home, the sun was fully out again. One has to adapt. It didn't hurt that the clouds resembled the bend in the road. 12x16 inches, oil on linen panel.
One has to paint outside if the sun is shining, and so it was at the end of Hopper Road in Williamstown, MA this afternoon: a view looking west of the barn and the Taconic Mountains in the distance. 9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.
Despite the weather, I did a second painting yesterday. We could see the rain coming from a long way off. The photo shows me, the tiny painter, in the enormous landscape, with painter Thor Wickstrom's easel. 8x10 inches, oil on linen panel.
This afternoon the weather was unstable, sunny one moment, and raining the next, so perfect for painting with painter Thor Wickstrom (who took my photo) on Luce Road in Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, oil on linen panel.
