landscapes wild & cultivated
The Berkshires in western Massachusetts have been an inspiration for my art for many years, and most of my paintings are of that landscape.
All of these paintings are done on Yupo, a synthetic paper that doesn't absorb the paint and thus keeps the colors brilliant. Usually, I apply paint with brushes. With some, I squirt the paint right onto the Yupo and spread it around with squeegee-like tools called blades and wedges. One of those paintings is Two Fields, which won best in show at a Houstonic Valley Art League show in 2017.
Enjoy!

Sheffield has a lot of wetlands. The Taconic Range is in the background.

This is Mudge Pond, in Sharon, CT.
November Road
Sheffield also has a lot of dirt roads. Painters have long used the winding road to lead viewers into the view.

These wetlands are near our house in Sheffield.
