Bay Fog

That’s San Francisco fog creeping into the South Bay.  I love the way California fog slips along the coast then spills up and over the mountains.   I began Bay Fog en plein air and finished it in my California studio. This oil on canvas was later purchased by an East Coast Collector.

Sunny Sierra Stream

Sunny Sierra Stream was painted when I was traveling around the Sierra’s with my daughter and granddaughters.  The original transparent watercolor was sold here in the East.  Available now is this monoprint enhanced by artist with color pencils on 140 lb. acid free watercolor paper.

Sugar Maple Hill

I did three paintings of sugar maples.  All three are here – keep scrolling down to see them.  The first, Sugar Maple Hill, (below) is an early transparent watercolor that I painted from memory remembering my days at school in New England.   It sold immediately from a Philadelphia Gallery to a Philadelphia Collector. This second Sugar Maple Hill (below) was painted and given to a friend who was always there for me – in good times and in bad – and who loved this transparent watercolor. This third painting I called simply Sugar Maples (below).  It, too, I painted from memory, and it also sold the very first time it was displayed here in Pennsylvania.  When I compare the three paintings, brushstrokes get looser with each new rendering.  Painting Orpheus Revels sets in three days makes one deliver paint to canvas fast and I did Revels for years at about the same time I was painting the latter two Sugar Maples.  Hooray for Orpheus!  Hooray for loose, fun brushstrokes.

Farm Nestled in Snowy Hills

March in New Hampshire is breathtakingly beautiful.  I could not wait to get back to our cozy cabin to spread out in front of a blazing fire with my little travel set of watercolors and block of cold press paper to paint the cobalt blue shadows I saw on the snow.
