Corner Painting

The painter Thor Wickstrom has cornered the market painting this location in North Adams, MA but there's always room for another painting.  12x16 inches, oil on panel.

Next to Porches in North Adams

Early this afternoon I painted with Thor Wickstrom and Frank Visco at the small park next to Porches across from MOCA in North Adams, MA.  Fortunately there are a few trees there providing shady spots to settle under, and a parking lot.  Frank lives in New York City and is visiting the area.  Looking for local plein air artists, he found me yesterday at the popup Gallery 28 via FB.  Frank takes courses at the Art Student's League, so I told him to link up with Thor in NYC, but Thor was here today, so through the magic of texting, we all ended up painting together.  9x12 oil on panel.

Top of the Hill

Yesterday afternoon was a splendid time to work outside with painter Thor Wickstrom.  We were near the top of a  hill on a dirt road in Pownal, Vermont, overlooking a farm with mountains in the background.  I did three drawings while Thor completed an entire painting.

The Corner Market

A 9x12 oil on mdf panel.  This market with the huge sign in North Adams has been painted many times and much better by Thor Wickstrom, a great painter who has done many North Adams and New England views.   But I thought I would try it because of the sign and the complexity of such a simple theme.
