Purples, Greens & Yellows

"Purple Loosestrife Abounds"

22x28", oil on canvas

This is the largest plein air painting I have ever done. Purple loosestrife is a classic fixture along the Susquehanna river. The greens, yellows, and purples make for a wonderful, natural landscape design. Thrilled this piece has found a home in the Susquehanna Valley.

Covered Bridge Classic

"Wading by Red Bridge"

(Yellow Breeches, Messiah College, Grantham, PA)

oil, 9x12"

This proved to be a cool spot on one of the hottest days of summer. While plein air painting, bold brush strokes and bright colors were chosen to reflect the heat of the day juxtaposed with the exuberance of many people dashing in and out of the creek. 

Wrightsville After Rain

 

"Wrightsville After Rain"

Much attention is given to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during July and the summer months. It was a chilly, quiet, and thoughtful morning when these paintings were begun.

Winter Inspiration

 

"5 Cardinals"

oil, 8x10

 

While many tire of the snow and cold, I still find inspiration in winter weather and snow-filled views. Careful examination yields colorful reflections in the snow, ripe for painting. Birds and winter animals abound. So glad someone else felt the same way and found a home for this little painting.
