Snow Storm Deep Winter

Yesterday there was a "white out" couldn't see a thing for about 20 minutes....

then there were blustery winds for hours bringing in the below zero world....this what it looked like driving down an old dirt road, snow piled high on either side....oil on canvas 20x24"

Diana's Tulips

There's nothing like a good bunch of wild tulips, not to be confused with wild salmon, these tulips were grown in a garden but went wild after they were in a vase for a while ... you can't blame them...this movement inspires me.....oil on canvas 20x20"

Clothes Line Wilcox Farm

Last study done at the farm this fall....only kale left growing in the garden....when I went into the farm house to talk to Babe (just celebrated 93 years) he thought it was pretty funny that I had just painted the old towels on the line, he asked if I had included the holes ( in the towels) ?

View of Central Park from the Plaza

We spent the night on the eigth floor and woke up to snow in the park....This view was magical...I put two pieces of paper together to get the whole picture...It was St. Patricks Day in NYC....22x40" water color and gouache on paper ( there is a reflection from the glass on the left of this photo...oops, sorry)

Portrait of Martin

View from the Sullivan House BI

This was my favorite painting ( one of many) from September on the island....There was a terrific North Eastern wind and cloudy sky but we had been painting in the shelter of the Sullivan House...I had been working on two studies and was fairly exhausted and ready to call it a day when the sun broke through over New Harbor....so I kept painting ....don't quit before the miracle happens... 24x36" oil on canvas

Mother with her Piglets

There's nothing like a bunch of baby pigs to inspire me. I especially liked the little black one. They are moving constantly so the challenge to capture them on the canvas is great.... and always fun.... 24x30" oil on canvas
