FOR DENIS

after designing a cancer get well card for Denis of Cooperstown, New York...who's going thru some amazing cancer treatment at Rochester, NY....I painted the sky outside my window....I sure hope he has a huge window in his room!

DANCING CLOUDS

A windy & cloudy day....great for cloud study...this study is a conscious reference to John Constable.....whenever I'm going to paint the sky, I make sure I glance thru all my Constable reference books....

FOGGY

FOG occurs when humid air cools & approaches the dew point...it's a good lesson in learning to change my visual expectations...forget about detail & contrast...I look for more abstract, simple shapes & patterns....

LUMINOUS MORNING

luminous morning..the kind of day that makes you feel good

IRIS

finally, flowers popping up everywhere in my garden...which ones do I paint??

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

this is not exactly a sketch...but I get to spend the holiday weekend at Cooperstown, New York...

PASTEL MORNING

pastel is the perfect medium for these soft spring mornings...

SPRING BREEZE

one of those soft & glorious morning, just the birds and me....
