Lakeside Birches
12x9 - Sold
This is a plein air pastel, done at The Hedges in Blue Mountain Lake. It now hangs in a friend's home. She spent many years working at the resort and I hope she's enjoying this painting.

Autumn Mountain
9x12
Painted from a photo I took when I went with my cousin and a friend to the mountains in Oak Glen, California. It's apple country and so gorgeous in the fall. What a nice day we had - I think we were there right before the place closed for the winter. Bought some delicious apples and certainly would like to go back soon.
Late Afternoon Snow
11x14 - $150.00
Took my camera when we went cross country skiing. We went late in the afternoon and the sun was low on the horizon, shining through the trees on the path. Wonderful shadows, cold but silent and beautiful. I might still be working on this one, but thought I'd share while in progress with it. This on the Northville Placid trail near Durant Lake, Blue Mountain Lake NY.

Canoeing Henderson Lake
12x18
This past summer, we went canoeing on Henderson Lake, which is near the high peaks region of the Adirondack Park. From this lake you can look out and see the mountain that leads to Indian Pass, an incredible natural wonder, painted by many artists in the 19th century. Many of the canoers actually decided to paddle Henderson, then carry their canoes one mile to paddle another, smaller lake at the end of a hiking trail. Needless to say, we didn't do that, even with Hornbeck canoes, which weigh only eight pounds. Here's a painting of Eileen, who is trying to canoe as many Adirondack lakes as she can in the next few years. She's a real inspiration.

Sunset on Long Lake
9x12
After visiting Lake Placid a few weeks ago, Bill and I were coming through Long Lake just as the sun was setting over the lake. Long Lake is just that......a very long lake, with an incredible mountain range in the distance. This pastel was done from a photo where I used the zoom lense to get a shot close up on those mountains.
