It's spring, and Mount Monadnock is putting on its spring finery, with the leaves budding on the trees and everything starting to turn green. It's a time of renewal and hope.

Bobhouses
4" x 4"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
It's a snowy winter day, and the bobhouses are dotting the pond, ready for a day of ice fishing. I am always amazed by the variety of shapes, colors, and designs seen in these tiny houses.

Summertime
4" x 4"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
It's summer, and the haying is finished, leaving sunlit fields of stubble while Mount Kearsarge watches over the scene. The many shades of green were mixed from the three primary colors.

Stone Arch
4" x 4"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Natural Maple Art Board
Located at the site of Hillsboro, NH's, first gristmill, it is unknown who built this bridge or when it was built. The bridge shown here is one of two stone arch bridges that are connected by a causeway spanning Beard's Brook.

Reflections
7" x 5"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
One of my favorite places, this time on a summer day when there is barely a ripple in the water and the scene is clearly mirrored. The many shades of green were mixed using three primary colors.

November Afternoon
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
It's a warm November afternoon, perfect for a walk along the shore of the lake, camera in hand in order to capture the scenery for future paintings. I particularly liked the warm golds and russets in this scene.

Winter Light
3 1/2" x 11"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Private Collection
I often drive past this lake, thinking that such a pretty view would make a good painting. I finally remembered to bring my camera so that I could take some photos. I liked the way the sun illuminated the far section of the lake and hills with the foreground in shadow. |

Spring Day
8" x 10"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
I have done many winter scenes of this marshy area, but wanted to try painting it in a different season. On a beautiful, early spring day, I stopped and took some photos. I liked the contrast of the dead trees in the foreground with the delicate colors of early spring.

Summer Field
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Private Collection
I love this hilltop farm and have done many paintings over the years depicting it in all seasons, all weather, and all times of the day. The hay has been cut and the view across to the distant hills contrasting with the red barn, just had to be made into a painting.

Misty Day
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
It's a misty summer day, a bit on the cool side. The challenge was to capture all the variations on the color green without using green paint. As is the case with most of my paintings, I used white and the three primary colors for this painting.

Late Winter
5" x 5"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
The snow is starting to melt, allowing patches of bare ground to be exposed. The light and shadows are turning from the cold blues of winter to the warmer colors of the approaching transition to spring.

Cool Spot
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
There's nothing as inviting as a cool brook on a hot, summer day. This quiet spot was hidden away on a back road just waiting to be photographed and made into a painting.
|
Melting
8" x 10"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
As late winter inches toward spring, the ice on the marsh begins to melt, revealing the water below. The colors of the landscape gradually change from the hues of winter to those of spring.

Lilies by the Lake
4" x 4"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
A beautiful summer day and a lovely view of the lake. The daylilies are just beginning to bloom, adding their bright orange hues in contrast to the many green shades of summer and the cool blues of the lake.
|
June Day
4" x 4"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
A perfect June day, with puffy clouds drifting across the glorious blue sky. The trees and grass are decked out in every shade of green imaginable. What better way to enjoy this day than being out taking photographs to be used for future paintings?

River's Edge
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Private Collection
I have driven past this section of the river many times, telling myself that I needed to remember to bring my camera so that I could take some photos. On a bright winter's day after a snowstorm, I did just that.

Daybreak #1 (below) and
Daybreak #2 (below left)
both are 5" x 5"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Private Collection
It's still dark when I get my wake-up call at 6:20 am. I am making the ultimate sacrifice for my art as I venture out into the frigid January morning to take photos of the sunrise. This pair of paintings is called a diptych, a painting of one scene done as two paintings, in which each painting is also complete on its own.

Winter Dawn
5" x 7"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Another painting from the photos that I took on that cold January morning. Here, I was rewarded with this beautiful view of trees silhouetted against the pastel colors of the sky.

Fall Foliage
6.5" x 5"
Liquitex® Acrylic on Gessobord™
Private Collection
I took this photo in 1978 on a weekend visit to my parents' house in Center Sandwich, NH. My sister and I were out motoring about on the back roads, looking for pretty foliage. I'm not one to hang onto things, but I had a feeling this photo would one day become a painting.
