Not In-Between

Hoosic River at Stony Beach, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  When I arrived, the sun was shining and when I finished the painting the sun was shining again, but not in-between.

Not in the Water

Hoosic River, North Adams, MA.  9x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  This time I went to the Hoosic in North Adams accessed via Ashton Avenue.  The beach area extends into the river, so it only appears that I was painting while standing in water.  

An Arrangement

Alley and Ramp, Monhegan Island, ME. 12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  An arrangement of island forms.

Fish Beachcombers

Beachcombers, Monhegan Island, ME.  16x20 inches, oil on linen panel. A painting I did five years ago which I revised today.

Sunlight Patch

Short-Lived Story

Plum Island, Newbury, MA. 11x14 inches, oil on gesso panel.  Footprints in the sand tell a short-lived story, though ever repeating, like the ocean.

Real and Unreal

Plum Island, Newbury, MA.  11x14 inches, oil on gesso panel.  What I like about this painting is that it is both real and unreal at the same time.  The scene is from the aptly named Sandy Point State Reservation at the southern tip of Plum Island.

Oil Paint

Plum Island, Newbury, MA. 11x14 inches on gesso panel.  I like beaches, clouds, oceans and oil paint.

The Stony Beach

Stony Beach, Hoosic River, Williamstown, MA.  8x10 inches, oil on canvas panel.  I went back to the river today to see if I could at least suggest the beach.  

At the Edge of Stony Beach

At the Edge of Stony Beach, Hoosic River, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, oil on canvas panel. I setup so close to the edge that I was always in danger of stepping back into the river.  

Painting at Stone Beach

Hoosic River from Stone Beach, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, oil on canvas panel. Now that the weather has cooled down, I can paint at the Stone Beach.  There are a lot of paintings to be done here.
