From The Center


The Hopper and Mount Greylock from the center of Field Farm in Williamstown, MA.  The pine tree, which I use as a "repoussoir" to set off the background, is usually inaccessible, due to tall weeds and bramble bushes.  But I found a recently made wide path to it, presumably mowed for cross-country skiing this winter. 9x12 inches, oil on linen.

More Obvious


A few steps away from where I painted on Tuesday in Vermont, looking in the same direction, I did this one making more obvious the "repoussoir", otherwise known at the big pine tree in the right foreground. 10x20 inches, oil on linen panel.
