This is a painting of our very small valley. There is a stream below the hill. The view is from my studio and is of the hill across the way. The hill behind us, our trees and house are what is casting the shadow at the bottom of the painting.

This is a shed on a neighboring property. There's a large hill to the left of this scene and every night that we can see the sun setting it throws shadows across the landscape. I think of the famous Balthus landscape every time I see it. I'll paint more of these scenes in the coming days.

I have always loved this tree. It is a Silver Maple next to our house. It's large enough to catch lots of snow, unfortunately that has caused it quite a bit of damage over the years.

This is what I saw on my way to work one hazy morning. This section of the Tuscarora Mountains can be quite beautiful, particularly on foul days.

I just happened to look outside late in the afternoon to see this thick, heavy fog. I swear, only artists and folks in auto  body shops get excited about fog.

The forth painting from this series. The ripples in the snow sort of reminded me of water and the wooded area of an island.

This is a painting of a nearby Methodist cemetery. The scene reminded me of some of the old Westerns. "Come back, Shane!!"

This is a nearby church that I've painted a few times. This is the first painting of a planned series of scenes from this one particular afternoon. Snow, clouds and waning daylight, how could it miss?
