“Cattails”

"Cattails"

“Cattails”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

This is part of the view behind my winter studio in Edgartown, Ma this season. It is about a 4 minute walk from the house to the edge of Sheriff’s Meadow Pond behind me. Eel Pond is off to the left with the Sound beyond. This was one of my favorite haunts when I was a little boy. I first painted the little mud hole pond in the middle-ground in 1974 and have returned to paint here many times. There are few walkers on the paths around the pond this time of year, but I often think the winter colors are more spectacular than the summer foliage…

"One After The Other"

“One After The Other”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

I was able to find another rose to paint in a friend’s yard. This time a tea rose and not a lowly climber. Cool nights have not yet put them into dead flower shock…

"The Naked Season"

“The Naked Season”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

A long walk near the beach found this tree to paint. The sky went pink and orange as the sun went down. A well deserved end to a beautiful, cool day…

"Late Season Rambler"

“Late Season Rambler”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

The late rose season has been long this year. By now frost has usually had its way with any flowers still in bloom. Here and there in sheltered corners a bud or two attempt to unfurl their colors…

"Far Meadow"

“Far Meadow”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

I almost missed the color changes in these marsh grasses, as they turn from green through orange and gold then brown and silver. Soon enough, beside sky and cloud, the cool blue water will remain the sole enchanting dancer in the land and sea of winterscape…

"Pulling The Pots"

“Pulling The Pots”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

None of the lobstermen appeared while I was painting this, which was good and bad. It is always good to paint without too much activity happening around me, but then there is no one to pose a question to about my subject matter…

“Black Point Moon”

"Black Point Moon"

“Black Point Moon”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

A beautiful, warm and sunny afternoon found me out along the paths behind the dunes. The Atlantic Ocean gently rocked the air with sounds of surf and scent of sea. Ducks dropped down into the reeds for an overnight rest. Moon rose from the east gaining its luminous power as the sun slipped ever lower and was gone…

“Watering Can”

"Watering Can"

“Watering Can”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

I accidentally scared a turkey away in a friend’s backyard and discovered this red watering can as I turned to go. I think if it hadn’t been red, I might have let it be and gone about my business…

“Autumn Field”

"Autumn Field"

“Autumn Field”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

I love this field and this tree and the edge of the great pond and the back of the dunes. I come here to paint and sometimes just to look, often. Each time it is different, the season, the hour, the day, the year. I almost always paint this exact same view. Yet it, also, always comes out different each time. It challenges my strengths and weaknesses and, even though I know this scene by heart, still keeps me on my path of discovery…

“Fall on the River”

"Fall On The River"

“Fall on the River”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

For decades I have passed this river on my way to Boston and have wished to paint it. When I finished this painting and did a quick global positioning to really see where I had worked. I was totally surprised to find this was the river I always wanted to paint. It is the North River and passes under Route 3 in Hanover and Pembroke, Ma. It looks beautiful from the highway, but even more stupendous from the river bank, especially in fall colors. I was just a half mile east of where I had first seen it so many years earlier…
