THE SHERFY BARN, Gettysburg, 16x20 oil

The Sherfy barn sits on the Gettysburg battlefield surrounded by pastures and fields.   

THE BIG BARN (revised), oil, 12x16

I've been working on this painting to increase the intensity of the evening setting sun light on the barn. I may have reached a point where the painting is overworked and has lost its freshness. Hopefully I have learned a thing or two in the struggle.

Entries for ACAC juried show

I'm mailing off my entries for the Adams County Arts Council, I hope at least one is excepted.

FLOWING GRASSES, oil 12x16

A windy day on the Gettysburg battlefield caused the grasses to move in waves creating beautiful soft colors.

WILD POKE BERRIES, 16x12, oil

Painted from a photo taken last summer at Codorus State Park, Pa. I have been told that the Poke berries were used to make wine "back when." The big, warm yellow and orange leaves are a nice contrast to the black/purple berries.

ANTIQUE ROSES, 12x18, watercolor

I thought I try by hand at watercolor. My loose style with oils can't be shaken so I approached the roses with my usual heavy handed use of paint. I even used some paint right from the tube and the white highlights were achieved with folded sand paper.
