"Too Cold To Rock n Roll"
16x20" oil on canvas.
This is the view across the road from my house, I paint it every winter that I am home. After the block in, it became too cold for me to finish it outside so I took it into the studio to finish. Can you guess what I was listening to while I painted?

"Rhythm of the River"
16x20" oil on canvas.
The twisting, rhythmic movement of the water and the roots of the trees was the main attraction for me. While there is a similarity in the shapes they touch on very different emotions for me...

"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"
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.
