Near Cross Farms in Holmdel

After coming back from the Scott Christensen workshop I did some paintings with his 'keying in' approach and also applied his wisdom of how the greens are much more 'red' as they recede. I could see the impact of the workshop in this painting!

Deep cut park, Middletown, NJ

An afternoon painting, this one (6x8) was quite challenging with dappled light on the bench.

I did almost all of it at Deep cut park and then rather than trying to fix it, just left it alone.

Bayonette Farm, Holmdel "Plein air" Paintings

I painted at Bayonette farm on four different days over 3 weeks.. once by myself, twice with the group, and again at the Bayonette farm arts and music festival on September 20th. There were lots of scenes to paint of sunlit and shady barns, pathways and trees. I enjoyed painting each of them (outdoors of course) though the one of the pathway & shadows was challenging.


The grey barn, 11x14 (on the right) was painted on the day of the Bayonet Farm Arts and Music festival on Sept 20th, 2009.

Boats at Molly Pitcher inn, Red Bank, NJ

This is a 10x12 painting of a set of boats docked in the Molly pitcher inn dock. The views from the inn were stunning - i imagined this is what the french riveira or coastly Italy must look like!
