“Maple Road, Croton on Hudson”

“Maple Road, Croton on Hudson”

Oil on Canvas, 8” x 10”

I’ve always been attracted to foggy days, but don’t often take one on as a painting.

On Martha’s Vineyard I saw the most wonderful artist named Kara Taylor, who painted huge surrealistic pieces but also some small, dreamy landscapes. In these small pieces she used encaustic to the most wonderful effect, which I may someday try!

“Getting Late”

Hi there! It’s been awhile but with the holidays, camping in Baja Mexico, having the floors of 4 rooms redone and escaping to Montreal, I’ve had little time to paint. Winter is my least favorite weather but visually most beautiful time of year to me, so I stop often to photograph. This one was taken around 4 or 5 p.m., just getting dark.

Other topic: I’m reading about Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson for book group. Such an acute observer who identified aerial perspective. I find myself thinking about how cool it would be for him to be in the world today and look at our technological marvels. He’d be fascinated.

This is an earlier painting that just needed something.

I think it works now!
