Rising Greylock

Greylock from Sloan Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, watercolor, gouache and pastel on Bristol paper.  Whenever I walk down Sloan Road, the mountain rises up above me. 

Oblong Long View

 Oblong Road View, Williamstown, MA. 12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  Merry Christmas!

Appreciating Spring

Old Milk Shed, Luce Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic and pen and ink on Bristol paper.  We can appreciate Spring all the better because we have to put up with Winter.  

Winter Hoosic

Hoosic River at Stone Beach, Williamstown, MA.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  From a visit to Stone Beach a few days ago.  Now the snow is all gone.

Still Playing

Portico, Nice. 8x10 inches, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink on Bristol paper.  I'm still playing with different ways of marking a piece of paper.  This one is inspired by a Ken Howard drawing from his book Inspired by Light: A Personal View

For the Fun of It

Corner of Oblong and Sloan Roads, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic wash and pen and ink.  This one I did just for the fun of it.

Fourth Avenue

Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  A memory of a view north near Garfield Place.

A Booster Rocket

Cow Feeder, Sloan Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic and pen and ink.  On Sloan Road there's an old barn, falling apart, a wild unkempt tree, and a cow feeder that looks like the remnant of a booster rocket.  

Half-Asleep Auto

Dean Street Auto, Brooklyn.  8x10 inches, acrylic paint with pen and ink on Bristol paper.  This dark van struck me as a half-asleep creature of some kind.

A Boat Drawing

Rocky Neck Boat, Gloucester, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic wash and pen and ink on bristol paper. I'm playing with my new pen, applying wash first and then using the pen.  This way the ink will not run, and the lines and wash edges don't matchup giving some vibrancy to the drawing.

Brooklyn Pissarro

Union Street Bridge, Brooklyn. 12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  This view reminds me of paintings by Camille Pissarro.

 

Brooklyn Street Corner

Union and Nevins, Brooklyn. 12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  After a brief interlude in Paris (see previous post), I'm back to a memory of a Brooklyn street corner.

Pont Royal

 Pont Royal, Paris.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.   

Mount Greylock

Mount Greylock from Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, pencil, charcoal, watercolor and pastel on paper.  A mixed media drawing that I started on location and completed in the studio.  

The Open Door
