Camping Central New York

Gouache painting of camping. Pete likes to do breakfast in the morning. Here he is acting like he belongs in a padded room. I like to use gouache paint like watercolor. There is something about the way it handles that is a nice change from watercolor.

House with the red roof

Corn fields that glisten in the sunlight. Old Farm houses sitting at the base of huge rolling hills. Clouds roll over changing warm sunlight to cool shadows. Lots to watercolor here in Central New York.

Flash in the Stream

Here is a gouache painting of Flash our golden retriever in a stream. He loves the water.

Tractor Pull

This can be a scene at any soccer or baseball game. It happens to be at a 4th of July tractor pull in a small farming community in upstate New York. What is a tractor pull? Farmers pull heavy weights with their trackers and the tracker that pulls the most weight from a dead stand still wins.

River Bed Watercolor

A long time ago I used to ride my bike out of town and up into the hills before work. This is on the side of one of the roads. I went down there into the river and looked around. Some things in your life you will never forget.

Winter house Watercolor

This house is big, I think there are 7 units in this one. We walk by this house going to church all the time. One really cold night. I noticed some one had left the front door wide open.

A watercolor of a group of women at an out doors art show. I wonder what the boy in the middle is thinking.
