WISTERIA AND AZALEA, 9x12 oil

WHERE THE TROLL LIVES, 11x14, Oil

Painted from a photograph taken last summer at Codorus State Park.  This bridge crosses Black Rock Rd. near the Mary Ann Furnace Trail.  Can't wait for Spring to arrive so I can get out and paint! 

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.
