Trees in a Sunlit Field

Yet another little study from my landscape workshop with artist Ben Fenske.  Again, the goal here was to try to create depth and atmosphere. I really loved this little field in Wainscott which is just outside East Hampton, NY.  I plan to go back on my own to do a few more paintings.

Waterfront

                                                  SOLD

I am just getting around to posting some of the paintings I did during a landscape painting workshop I took a few weeks ago. The instructor was artist Ben Fenske, a graduate of The Florence Academy of Art, and an avid landscape and portrait painter... not to mention an awesome guy. The first thing Fenske pointed out to me, was that my landscape paintings lacked depth. He was right. The painting above is one I did after a little instruction from the master. It's got some depth and atmosphere. I was pleased, and so was he!

 I found this sweet little house on a back road in Sag Harbor, today. Its magnolia is just starting to bloom. I am continuing to paint plein aire and am concentrating on not "over painting" my subject.

Warm Welcome

     SOLD

I've decided to do a little series of paintings featuring the architectural gems in Sag Harbor. This house, which is a retail space now, sits up high on Main Street. When the sun is setting in summer, it lights up the entry way of this old beauty - making for a very warm welcome.

Big Blue Peak

                                                    SOLD

     Lately, I am trying to focus on values and shapes. This gem of a house in Sag Harbor lent itself beautifully to my efforts with its rectangles, triangles, deep darks, luminous middle values and bright highlights.  I'm quite happy with this one.
