"Cedar Tree Neck Barn", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
This barn and property have intrigued me for many years. An old barn with an ocean view behind it, how delightful. If it had not been raining and I was stuck painting inside my van, I never would have chosen this view. But I'm happy I did…

"Sheriff's Meadow Fog", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
Living in town for the winter has its bonuses like walking to the movies or a restaurant. But when I start to miss all the open fields and water views of Chilmark and up-island, I remember I have access to this little sanctuary behind the house. I have done 10 or 20 paintings around Sheriff's Meadow over the years. Yet, when I think I have "found" the last painting I could ever create here, up pops something new due to weather, season, time of day, light, or in this case pruning and mowing off the path. I left for a walk around the pond a half hour before sunset. Usually I would carry my gear with me. This evening, fog was rolling by, there would be no sunset just a darkening of the daylight. So I walked empty handed. Half way 'round the pond proper is a spillway, bridge and this view of Butler's Mudhole. Much tree damage had happened due to the last 2 storms. The caretaker's clean up included brush cutting around and under an old, damaged willow to a dry bit of grass by the property edge. Stepping there to photo this view I knew I had a new painting to do. Having raced back to the house/studio to get my paints, I set up quickly and worked down from the horizon starting with the hedge and little bathhouse with my largest brush. Landscapes are fairly quick to paint, if you think about them for a minute. Most brush movement is horizontal, stopping only to clean brush and mix and change colors. The one thing which stops a quick landscape is a strong vertical item in the scene, requiring cutting in around the object and thus ceasing the flow of brushwork. The bathhouse, the only vertical, was tiny and did not slow me down. I saved the sky until last, in case it caught a blush of color as the sun set off in the fog. Canada Geese arrived in "v" formations looking for a place to bed. I held my ground until last light when geese moved into pond and fog rendered me invisible…

"Signs Of Fall", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
I almost missed this painting opportunity. I love the views in the fishing village of Menemsha. Concentrating on the boats in port and their respective docks and gear, I almost didn't see the colors of the far shore. It is full of a patch of rosa rugosa, locally known as beach rose. Usually a full, deep green color with red/pink or white roses, it opens its blooms early in spring. The scent, mixed with the aroma of the sea salty air, is a heady nose full of the summer to come. This particular stand had all turned a rusty yellow orange, stacked one atop the other marching up the hillside. On this bleak cold, almost snowy day, they were a welcome warming sight to behold...

"Crackatuxet", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
A favorite corner of South Beach. I especially love this collection of last century buildings. This is what the Vineyard will always be to me, small scale, happy, close to the land and ocean. Of course, my vision is incomplete without summer, too, but off season has its own pleasures...

"Edge of The Wood", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
Behind a vernal pool on the edge of the Great Pond grows this elderly oak. Toward sunset the lingering light catches its branches and graces them with gold...

"In A Fog", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
I came upon this scene one rainy, foggy day. The fog isolated the dory from what was usually a crowded background. That is what I like about fog. It can transport you from here to anywhere, by taking away all the local points of reference...

"One After The Other", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.
I was able to find another rose to paint in a friend's yard. This time a tea rose and not a lowly climber. Cool nights have not yet put them into dead flower shock...
