It is a secret—how magnificent Western Mass is. Shhhhhhhh.

I’ve been painting the Valley in oil this week.

Weeding in the studio today.

The air outside has turned cold again, but it’s summer in the studio. Oil, 6x8. #blueskyartshow #oilpainting #landscapeart #newenglandart

February vibes! I heard my first red-winged blackbird in the field yesterday. They arrive as the light gets long, late in the month. Today was a glorious day to be out with the oil paints. This is 8x10 on board. ☀️❄️ #oilpainting #blueskyart #artisresistance #landscapeart #pleinairpainter #springfever

There is something deep, relevant, mysterious about beings sheltering together as winter comes. Oil, 3’x4’, currently on the easel.

January mood. Grays with irrepressible sun. (pastel)
