Propped Up

Great year for clouds. This is an area near my house that I pass on my way back from the local farm stand. I didn't have my camera (bad) but I did have my iPhone (good).

Station Shadows

2012, Oil on Canvas, 5"x 7"
#036


This is the historic Harrisburg Train Station. This was near sunset which created these wonderful shadows on the building across the tracks. It wasn't until I looked at the photograph that I noticed the reflections on the brick pavers on the platform.

Three Pears in a Blue Bowl

2011, Oil on Canvas, 10"x 8"


This is a painting that was started in the Autumn of 2011 as a demonstration piece at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, in Hagerstown, Maryland. Those familiar with the Museum will notice the reflection of the atrium roof in the bowl.

This is one of my favorites from this series. I had posted this before but I wanted to return to it and offer it at auction...and I have been pretty busy and haven't had time to paint the last couple of days.

This is a painting of a tree near my house. I wa taking pictures the other way and was getting frustrated because I kept getting my shadow in the shot so, when I turned around to give the sun a dirty look I saw this.

Tree Shadows

This is a painting of a house in Duffield, PA as the sun was setting. I happened to see this the day before and made a mental note of the time so that I could shoot it the next day.

Corn Wall

2012, Oil on Canvas, 5"x 7"
#032


In case no one knows it, I have a genuine fascination with corn. This is a painting of a local farm during harvest season. I love the way they carve sharply into their fields like a barber creating a Mohawk.
