Alford Cemetary All Hallows Eve

A welcoming sight on a late Autumn afternoon...the local resting place...Is it haunted?I love the "monuments" as they are called....look like sculpture to me....this is a watercolor on 22x30" paper

The Alford Church and Schoolhouse

Here is what our little town looks like to me on a late fall afternoon...the storms of winter are on their way...oil on canvas 24x36"

Watermellon and WinterSquash

This is what's going on in the studio lately...the harvest of the local painters....interesting combination....couldn't resist painting it though...winter is on it's way....24x30" oil on canvas

Coast Guard Station and the Tide is Going Out

I spent an afternoon working on this study watching the tide go out and the boats coming in....by the time I left here it was getting dark...sun setting...but then I saw the barn reflection....watercolor 22x30"

Champlin's Farm Sunset

On the evening that I painted this watercolor I was coming around the bend heading home from the coast guard station where I had just worked on a study of the tide going out and I saw this reflection of the old barn in the ponds which I could not resist....(that was a mouthful) anyway I got set up to paint and realized I did not have any water to paint with ( I was just using the salt water always handy near the cut) just then one of my students drove up ( she hads also been painting down near the coast guard station) and she had a bottle of Poland Spring water which she donated to the cause....so I had a great time trying to capture this wonderful scene....later I learned that old Mrs Champlin had recently died and the farm had been sold off to some new folks...probably not wanting to farm unfortunately...watercolor 22x30"

Bass on the Block

This fish was caught on Block Island and painted out there too....I couldn't resist a beautifuhl fresh fish.....added the knife and lemon for balance....watercolor 22x30"
