Watercolor from a walk in Van Horn Park

 Watercolor from a walk in Van Horn Park in Springfield, MA. At first I was attracted by the light on the grassy peninsula, but a guy and his dog showed up so I put them in, too. 4” x 6” in sketchbook.

Watercolor painting of park scene with sunlight falling on yellowish grass against dark woods and green laurel bushes. A man in a red jacket is throwing a ball for his dog. Scene is reflected in gently rippling lake water.

Academic Artists Association 2021 - 71st Annual Exhibition

 The Academic Artists Association 2021 - 71st Annual Exhibition is up at https://academicartistsassociation.org/exhibitions/71st-2021.html

It’s an excellent selection this year, and I’m very happy and honored to have “Three Women” included.

Oil painting of three women on a porch, representing three generations. The daughter looks into the picture, across a valley with an old brick mill town with a Florentine tower. In the distance a thunder cloud looms. The mother is busy hanging a sheet on a clothes line, her gaze directed across the picture. The grandmother looks out of the picture, meeting our eyes with a quizzical expression.
