GRASSLANDS

Waking up to yet another hot, steamy, summer work morning today, I thought a cool, calm landscape would refresh the spirit. The long, smooth, brush strokes are soothing and the atmospheric colors reminiscent of the time just after dawn when the cool mist is rising and and a feeling of quietude blankets the land. Greens, Blues, and Greys reinforce this effect. Grasslands 5"x7" Oil Paint on Panel

Landscape with Fir Trees 5"x7" oil on panel

I love painting small scale landscapes. It is so much fun to represent big, open scenery in a post card sized painting.

ON THE HUDSON

A BEAUTIFUL HAZY DAY
THE SUN WAS TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUDY HAZE ON THE WATER. THE HUDSON RIVER HAS MANY MORNINGS LIKE THIS. PAINTING OUTDOORS IN THE MORNING HERE IS ALWAYS INSPIRING .

The Abstracted Landscape

These paintings feature small bits of the landscape, blown up to create an abstract composition. I particularly love the colors.

SUMMER HAZE-  OIL ON ARCHIVAL BOARD

This is another painting I have been working on from the hazy , humid summer this year. I think it's done?

Almost Summer

As the days warm up , I am definitely looking forward to the beach this summer.

Cherry Tree in Spring

LUMINOUS ROSE BOUQUET

I have been experimenting with different techniques in floral paintings this winter. This is one of my favorites. I really like the transparent and opaque layers mixing together in the roses and the glass vase, creating a luminous halo around the bouquet. The background is textured a bit , in a neutral dark burnt umber color. It reminds me of leather, a nice foil for the feminine floral arrangement. The painting is oil on stretched canvas, 9" x 12", and is for sale . Contact me if you are interested. Enjoy being inside and warm in the cold weather !
