Green Lane Water

Inspired by a trip to the Green Lane Reservoir near my home. I just love the rippling of the water and the transparency to the rough textured ground beneath the water. I'm showing this one in the Schuylkill River Heritage Area Art Show at Montgomery County Community College, Pottstown, PA. Acrylic on board, 12"x9".

Lake View

Finally finished an earlier painting that I started when I was in Jim Thorpe, PA. I've found that the ampersand pregessoed boards are still too slick. It's better to gesso over them. Even my second coat of paint kept sliding around, really annoying. Anyway, here it is completed! Acrylic on board, 9"x12".

Open Field

I just couldn't resist painting the light on this field with the sharp contrasts from the dry yellow grasses against the dark green trees. This is one of the few open spaces in Barto, PA. Developments keep encroaching on the land all over. Acrylic on canvas, 12"x24".
