Scene from Crocker Park

Painted with my brand new Daniel Smith squirrel hair mop brush, and walnut ink. Paper is Fabriano watercolor paper. A fellow artist let me try out his squirrel brush and I loved it! I am looking forward to acquiring several sizes. The ink is very nice as well.

Concord River



I painted this from my kayak a couple of weekends ago. Having cool weather lately, but I'm hoping to be back in my kayak next weekend.

beaver dam

I painted these wetlands in Fitchburg on Rindge Road. It was a nice warm day, but there were still tufts of snow in the area. This pen & ink/watercolor painting is 6 x 8 on
Stonehenge paper.

A street in Paris


I love copying old b&w photos in color. This image came from a book titled A Vision of Paris: the photographs of Eugene Atget. It was published in 1963.
The painting is 8x10 on bristol. I used a dark sepia Faber-Castell PITT artist pen.

David Boyce home

Built in 1782, this house is located in Salem, MA. I took a side road home from work and stopped to sketch it.
