Buttercup Hill, oil on linen panel, 10"x12"

This is a plein air painting I did last week on a perfectly sunny afternoon. The field was filled with Buttercup flowers. The fence was not there but I added it for interest. There was also a small white building in the foreground that was built at a funky angle in comparison to the other buildings, so it had to go. One of the benefits of painting a scene rather than photographing it.

The Bachelors, oil on linen, 50"x16"

This is one of the largest paintings I have ever done, well at least the longest. 5 Pintail Drakes out on a foggy morning in early spring.

Spring Silo, oil on linen, 9"x11"

This is a little oil sketch that I did a couple weeks ago during a late afternoon. We drive by this farm all the time on our way to Mass and family gatherings, and for years I have thought that I should paint it. I love how the late afternoon humidity simplified the shapes and gave such a strong feeling of aerial perspective.
