Inspirations and sketches from my studio in the Catskill Mountain. The solitude of my Artist Retreat compels me to keep exploring, seeing, experimenting, and painting all the picturesque quality outside my window.
It never fails, as soon as Labor day rolls around, there's the chill in the air. It also means the start of fall harvesting season. Such a wide variety of beautiful vegetables at the farmer's market!
Because of the draught, the hay season is off by 50%. Still plenty of hayfields in the area for me to paint. I like the graphic quality of this simple composition.
These summer cornfields are so lush & very scenic. With the graphic lines, rows of cornfields are pretty easy to paint. If I squint, I can pretend that I'm in CA, among the vineyards.
