"Sun Setting on a Rockrimmon Barn"
8x11" gouache on paper.
This barn was among the very first subjects I sketched as a boy. I ran and played and had many adventures in the fields around this barn but only ever sketched the white barn from the road. This view is from the back, up a little hillside.  If ever I move home again this is where I'd like to live.

At Judges Cave - © Christopher Greco

"At Judges Cave"
4x10.75" gouache on paper.
I was painting with a friend this day. We went up to West Rock in New Haven. It was a cloudy morning with the sun peeking out every once in awhile. The challenge here was to paint something that didn't really grab my attention and only had the light I like for a moment or two but was kind of magical when the sun did come out for those few seconds.

"The Neighbor of the Daughters of Isabella"
Approx. 11x8.5" gouache on paper.
As I was walking up Whitney Blvd. in New Haven one afternoon I came across this interesting building. I was attracted by the late day light on the pink decorative shingles and the golden yellow brick. I never did notice whose building it was but I did see that it was next to the Daughters of Isabella.

The Daughters of Isabella is a female auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus. The first Daughters of Isabella circle was formed in New Haven, Connecticut in 1897.

The view from a little way up Prospect St. This is the building that my graduation ceremony was held in many years ago. It was a riot of energy and color as students rushed to and from class and then it was eerily quiet until the next break between classes.
