Big Display

This is a small painting (8" X 10") but, it is about a big display! The subject is simple because I was working mostly, to get the cloud to glow in the sky above the darkening horizon. 
Making an object seem to be emitting light is a challenge well worth the effort. There are no living beings in this scene, making the cloud seem to come alive.

Mid-Summer Haying in New Paltz

One evening this summer I drove past this farm in New Paltz and watched them haying a field. It was overcast and the tractors were kicking up a lot of dust. I liked the way the fading light was caught by the grasses on the mound of earth in the foreground.

Winter Stream - My new painting

I really like painting winter scenes. I am particularly drawn to snow and ice melting on a small pond or stream. This is a local brook I saw one morning at the end of last winter. It looks like a pond because some beavers made a dam down stream that has backed up the water.

Tim and I are in a show at ASK this month titled That Great Canvas: The Sky. Our four paintings surround the large landscape by another artist. Tim's work is the one on the bottom left.

New Painting - Midnight Snow

I struggled with this one. I wanted to paint the effects on snow of a moon
I saw when I was traveling back from Kingston one late night.

Plains Road Cows

I want this painting to convey the feeling one gets in early winter after the leaves have fallen and before the snow starts to come down. The cows probably do not notice the changing weather, but you would.
