New Oil Piece "Rosehip"

Got on a roll tonight with another oil piece that has been in the works, and kept looking at these drying rosehips drooping over my palate. A quick shift of surfaces and an hour or two later and here we are.

Watercolor sketch "Sailing"

I recently learned to sail while vacationing in the Adirondack mountains. I loved the way the sunlight played in through the sails as the wind sculpted them. I made this quick study to capture the proportions and colors in hopes of a possible final piece.

New piece "Last Ones Standing" 16 X 12

Another watercolor in keeping with the autumn theme. I started this awhile ago after taking this photo just outside work. I liked the simplicity and the unusual composition, and wanted it to be a very tonal, textural work.
