plein air fall/late summer paintings

 

                                                lovely fall scene at Marshfield Pond.  painted with Ken here
a couple of times.  the day  was slight over cast with bursts of sunlight appearing.


                                            the magic of Adamant Pond late summer.  a time of pond  lillies



                                            late summer on Adamant Road hillside.  morning waking up.

                                             such a gorgeous place.

QUOTE  from Pablo Picasso

   ART washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I love this quote.

THIRST QUENCHED
HOMAGE TO A DOE
1/2020
studio
years ago while deer
 hunting I watched a
little doe come towards
me in a stand of hardwoods
with her head down.  I
stopped & she came right
up to me.  I could have
patted her but she didn't
seem to know I was there.
she must have been sick.
I never forgot her.
