Five Black Ducks, 2006

full-sheet image 30x22,

( I've indicated strong sunlight highlighting the subtle beauty of black ducks as they set into a remote marsh late on an autumn day. Used as an illustration for a book-in-progress by Countrysport Publishing, and taken from a design I earlier used on a painting of mallards.)

Chatham Wind

watercolor on Arches cold pressed paper, half-sheet image 15x22, 2000

( I did this on location on a very windy summer's day on Cape Cod. There are some watery accidents in the sky area that, although unintended, ad to the windy sky effect.)

Rainy Day Boatyard

watercolor on Arches CP paper, quarter-sheet image 11x15, 2000

(The only "keeper" from a trip to Maine on which it rained every day. I worked on the abstract elements of the drawing for several hours, then executed the painting in a surprisingly brief time.)

Sunlit Table with Flowers

watercolor on Winsor & Newton CP paper, full-sheet image 28x22, 1999

(My fascination with the effects of brilliant sunlight on interior scenes inevitably leads to this sort of quiet, high-contrast painting. Contained in this work is just about every watercolor technique I practice.)

$600

Teapot Brook

watercolor on experemental paper, half-sheet image 15x22, 1995

( Someone gave me some paper to try, and I did this in studio from one of my photos. I didn't care for the paper, but the painting came out okay.)

Thanksgiving Snow & Shadows, 2006

half-sheet image 15x22,

watercolor on Arches rough paper

(Last Thanksgiving saw the first snow of the year. Returning home from bird hunting on Satruday, I passed this barn in Warren. Sometimes the late-day shadows can transform an ordinary scene into something dramatic.)
