Boreas Sanctus
October 25th & 26th, 2014 Marsh in Tewksbury Watercolour, 12 x 16 in I have some kind of infection in my chest so was not too fit to go out this weekend, instead I stayed in with my watercolors and worked on this. I never use black but I did in this, not as much…
October 20th, 2014 (Unfinished as yet) South Natick, MA Watercolour, 12 x 16 in I went to visit & paint with a friend in the Newton area. I had all my paints with me but felt me and oils needed a bit of a break, at least for the day – so I opted initially…

September 30th, 2014 River and Leaves – Andover, MA Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 in (sold) I didn’t get to paint this weekend but a friend and I went yesterday (Tuesday the 30th) to paint the turning leaves. It was a cool day of rain cleverly disguised as “heavy mist.” The darkness of the…
Tidal River and the Sea September 23rd, 2014 Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester MA Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24 in (sold) This was a glorious day – one last little “Hurrah” of summer before the inevitable fall. It was warm, the sky was cloudless, and the parking was both legal and free! As usual I…

When the light shone through the leaves and…

September 7th, 2014 Oil on Canvas, 24 x 30 in (sold) On Thursday, without warning, my Uncle’s and my incredibly fit and healthy dog suddenly died. Apparently there had been a large tumor all around his heart, and it burst – and he passed away. He never had to be sick, never had to be…
August 29th, 2014 Old Granite Pier, Rockport MA Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 in (sold) I felt like I’d been a bit of a wimp, leaving out all those buildings, boats and piers in my previous painting so reluctantly I decided to include a sampling of houses in this one. I think my degree…
August 23rd, 2014 Sun Dappled Woods Oil on Masonite, 8 x 10 in (nfs) Because of the size of it, this painting looks to me like a paint-by-numbers type product. I worked from a photo of the path to the boathouse on the island. I wanted to get the feel of motion through the patches…
