My latest painting is a still life. I am calling it "Flowers In A Glass Vase" for obvious reasons. It is 16"x20" and can be seen in the next show at the Arts Society of Kingston, titled "Hearts and Flowers", opening February 4 in Kingston, NY.
I usually paint landscapes, but I did this still life
for the next members' show at ASK titled "What's Cooking". This painting is
11"X14" and I call it "Three Apples".
I finished this painting this weekend. I titled it "Fall Sunset". It is small (8"x10") but, I think it is very dramatic. I wanted to capture the intensity of the sun as it passes behind a line of trees. Darkness comes earlier in the fall as the nights get a little chilly.
This painting is 12"x24" - a different format for me. I wanted the expansiveness of the sky to add to the mysterious mood of early evening. The hay bales are lined up as if laying out a secret message for aliens. When it is haying time in Ulster County you might drive by an field in the morning and when you return to the same field in the evening it will be filled with hay bales. Two days later, they are gone! This field is in New Paltz. I've painted it before, and I will paint it again.
My most recent work is a painting of a field seen in late fall when the corn is cut and snow on the ground from occasional light dustings stick around. It is a time of dramatic skies.
