Skinners in the Fall

This is a painting I started in March. This was done over the past 2 months a little bit at time after dropping two earlier attempts. This is the eddy pool above Skinner’s Falls on the Upper Delaware River painted in a relatively limited palette. Late in the day the sun reflects off the trees on the New York side of the river. A phenomenon that happens all year ‘round.

This is nearly finished. I have to wait a while for the colors to sink. Then I’ll ‘oil the painting out’ to see if anything needs adjusting.

On the way to Kevin's Place

This piece was from just before covid hit. I got hurriedly put away. I pulled it out recently and though that it was finished and why was hidden away. ? I signed it and here it is. A color interpretation of a cornfield coming out of winters sleep. A small community exists at the end oof the field built around the feed mill that plants and harvests the field.

High Water

In the spring of 2021 a log had gotten jammed in my favorite boat launch on the Delaware. When I discovered this it was still a bit icy about so I put it in the back of my mind to check on later. A couple of weeks passed an things started to green up a little. Then the rain started. Heavy rain for days. I thought of the big log and wondered if it had moved out of the ramp. The river was high but the log was still there. A bit disappointed I took a little walk on River Road and discovered the entire hillside along river road was draining into the ditch. I only had my iPhone with me. I shot a few images. I made a composite of the scene in this painting. It’s the early spring green still competed with the winter browns.

This a bit fussy for me but that was a challenge.
