THE ENTRY, 12x9, oil

This ornate iron entry was in New Oxford, Pa. and painted from a photo taken in early spring when the red buds were in bloom.

SUSQUEHANNA VISION, 12x13, oil

A new studio painting!  I painted a small study of this scene several years ago while plein air painting at the river's edge.  The scene was quite dramatic and I thought I'd paint it again. I usually don't  post a painting with a frame but this painting is almost square and it was hard to get the entire painting in the camera frame.  

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.
