HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL

like all the painters of Hudson River School: such as T. Cole, F. Church, W. Whittredge, A. Durand, we spend alot of time painting numberless twilight scenes of these lovely rolling hills & valleys...

TRIPTYCH

a big part of being an artist is visiting museums and gallery, always looking always learning...this triptych idea came about from a recent visit to a gallery, the artist recorded the same scene within one hour...

TONE AND COLOR

ordinary and familiar scenes out my window, yet always changing...for this sketch, it's a study of tone and color

ALBERT RYDER PINKHAM

the darkest skies at 6am outside my window, reminded me of the mystical, moody, dark landscapes of Albert Ryder Pinkham from the 1890....by 8am, it turned into a most beautiful morning

ARKELL MUSEUM

since moving up to the Catskill Mountain, I've come across a number of fabulous little museum...saw an interesting exhibit at the Arkell Museum, Canajoharie, NY....which tie in with my time on the beach this summer...."Reflection on Water" is drawn from the collection of Arthur Phelan

ROMANTIC MIST

garden at dawn...my garden is most romantic when it's enveloped by a wonderful mist, even when the flower garden is mostly gone...

CENTRAL PARK

find myself in many different places this summer, from time on the beach to the city....got tons of sketches to post; this view is from the reservoir at Central Park, NYC,facing west....my sketchbook on the railing with a summer breeze from the water, joggers zipping by at 8 pm....

COUNTRY HARVEST

"when I go into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself: yes, indeed, all that belongs to me!" HENRI ROUSSEAU
