Moss Pond Clouds - SOLD

Moss Pond Clouds 16" x 20", Oil on Canvasboard Sold at $60.00 plus shipping On Saturday I drove through a crazy hailstorm, and as I was nearing home, the clouds were magnificant. I stopped at Moss Pond and it was so dramatic that I had to stop and shoot some photos. There was a fine wind and the storm that I had come through was heading in. This one turned out well, and I'm very pleased that it has some "feeling" to it. Thanks for looking.

Barre Falls Dam - SOLD

Barre Falls Dam,
Oil on Canvas on board 9" x 10.5"
Sold at $40.00 plus shipping.

I got the heebie jeebies driving over the dam and spillway at the Barre Falls Dam today, so I just went to one of the overlooks and enjoyed the distant view. There was a nice swaying field with something lavender in it, and at one point the clouds cast a really nice shadow across the mountain, so I tried to pop that in. Thanks for looking.

Connors Pond - Gifted

Connors Pond 9" x 12", Oil on Canvasboard Gifted. I had to get my car inspection done today, and on the way back, I stopped at this pond, where there were wild yellow irises blooming along the edge of the water. Is there such a thing as water irises? Anyway, it was one of those truly perfect summer days, so fine just to be in a beautiful spot, enjoying the sun and listening to the sound of the little waterfall beside me. Thanks for looking.

Apples and Tomatoes - SOLD

Apples and Tomatoes 12" x 16", watercolor on Arches 140 lb Cold Press Sold at $25.00 plus shipping. When it looked like it would rain this afternoon, I grabbed this basket of apples and tomatoes that my daughter (Happy Birthday, Mieke) had sitting on the counter. While a layer was drying, the sun came out and I headed up the road to do the tree, posted below. A productive day, and thanks for looking.

Old Tree - SOLD

Old Tree 9" x 12", oil on canvasboard Sold at $35.00 plus shipping. Between showers today, I went up the road to where I had spotted this beautiful old tree, with most of it's foliage to one side. The trunk was catching such great colors that I just mixed them up and popped them in. When I got it home, I didn't want to disturb it by blending and fussing, which is what I generally do. So this one really is alla prima. Thanks for looking.
