Color Beads, 16x20 oil - I started working on this piece as a reflection painting of the fall grasses.  I then took it to another level and eliminated the horizon line, shoreline and made it an abstract piece.  As I was working on it, it occurred to me that these type of reflections reminded me of the beading on the Indian dresses and I wondered if this hadn’t been the inspiration for bead work, hence the color beading effect that I interpreted into this work.   This Piece sold at the CM Russell Auction from which I had made this canvas print.

Color Beads

I painted in Giverny every year from 1993 onwards.  It became my landing ground for each year's painting.  Painting the gardens and surrounding landscapes were a great warm up and I also taught each year based in nearby La Roche Guyon.

Enchanted Light

This piece was a unique discovery, when driving into the wetland, I coasted into a scene of pure bliss.  There was this huge blue heron fishing in the backwater and I stopped and just took it all in.  It was a painting already to go, but for the conversion into paint.  I will never forget how it felt on this mild fall day to see such a beautiful creature and to have the opportunity to immortalize the moment in paint.

Tranquility

This piece was done on a bluff it is a plein air painting. The bluff was particular beautiful because it had breyers (The French word for Heather) Intermixed with wild wheat on the cliff. Usually the wind would blow which I painted in another piece called Wild wheat and Breyers.   But this particular day it was a lull and the sailor out sailing in this cove expressed the blissful moment.

Reflections of Azure

Painted in the location of the New Venuzula beach where there were mussels all over the rocks because of the high tide there was an 8 foot tide in this location and during low tide you would have these beautiful tones in the beach from pink granite and then the blue green violet color of the muscles that fascinated me.  This particular location I painted mini pieces including Sandcastles, Discoveries on the Beach, a large 24 x 42 of mussel rocks at dawn piece and a half tide smaller 14 x 30 piece. This location was a landing point during the war for the resistance.   This piece was exhibited at one of the Mystic International Exhibition.  It is a 12 x 17 plein air oil.
