EMERALD COVE, 11X14, OIL

This was painted en plein air at Codorus State Park, Hanover, Pa. near the sailboat ramp.  This quiet, still cove seemed to have an endless array of greens and was a challenge to separate the various temperatures and colors. 

CASCADING ORCHIDS, 17x13, watercolor

Today I experimented with watercolor, working wet into wet.

RASPBERRY BLOSSOMS, 20x16, oil

I've been working on this studio painting for several weeks.  The painting is based on a photo taken last year and the light was an important element in the composition.  I thought I'd post it even though I might make some changes after I live with it for a while.   

FORSYTHIA IN BLOOM, 9x12, oil

Painted en plein air at the Whareheim Mansion gardens in Hanover, Pa.

SPRING LIGHT EFFECTS, 11x14 oil

Early Spring in Codorus State Park was spectacular today.  The trees are just flowering and some green under brush is showing.  I picked this site with it's long shadows crossing the path and the orange/pink color in the flowering tree.

WISTERIA AND AZALEA, 9x12 oil

Hanover, Pa will be celebration its 250th birthday in June and I have been painting scenes of homes and landmarks for the Hanover Area Arts Guild exhibition.  This painting was started in Jan. during a "Demonstration Day" event at the Guild gallery and I finished it today. 

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!
