summer news

I've truly been busy painting plein air this summer and collected 2 first place oils and one third place oil, which sold, shown below.

attended the Jericho Paint Out yesterday

as seen, this photo is after the foggy morning.  it will be on preview at the Gruppe Gallery until August 7th.

6/4/16  I brought 2 paintings to Visions of Vermont this morning for the June juried show and was called in the afternoon that I had won First Place in Oils for my painting, Falls Last Apples.  pretty excited stuff.

5/25//16

my paint buddy, Joyce, and I were at the Hort Farm, S Burlington to paint on Sat.  great day. lovely plants for sale too.  artists were invited to come paint.  Hort Farm Flowering Crabapples.

my latest painting, 3/25/16, FALL'S LAST APPLES

I couldn't decide after I finished it if I liked it or not.  it was painted for a push and pull effect, soft focus background and focused subject.  this is accomplished I think.
someone dropped by this morning and fell in love with it.  maybe I'm on the right track.....

january 3, 2016

the start of a new and better year.
at present I am working with small works.  I wish to accumulate a new series for a show. I will be adding several layers of underpainting to inspire the actual painting.
this little gem can be found at Artisan's Gallery in Waitsfield, VT
