Paysage Bovin

This is a view from Cook Farm in Hadley featuring the Holyoke Range.  I started this painting in the fall and finally got around to finishing it.

Acorn Squash

6"x6" Oil on masonite

sold

The baskets of winter squash at the Hadley Sugar Shack have inspired me to try out a variety of squash recipes. A butternut and acorn squash soup with thyme and sage served with homemade croutons has been a big hit.

Cook Dairy Barn

9"x12" Oil on canvas panel

I painted this at Flayvors farm stand on Cook Dairy Farm. I originally intended to include cows in this, but decided to leave it as is with the big shapes of color uninterrupted.

The Red Tractor

10"x 20" Oil on canvas board

Plainsville Farm was harvesting their lovely field of butternut squash on Moody Bridge Road.

Hadley Barns

12"x16" Oil on board

This is a view from Huntington Road in Handley looking over tobacco barns.

Red Window

10" x 10" Oil on masonite

I painted this at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington House Museum from their beautiful gardens today. We will be painting a series on and around the Porter-Phelps-Huntington grounds this next year in preparation for an on-site art show next summer in commemoration of Hadley's 350th anniversary. www.pphmuseum.org

This old tobacco barn in Hadley is no longer standing, unfortunately.

Hadley Sunflowers

Oil on masonite
A pair of 6"x6" squares

I couldn't figure out how to display these two panels separately side by side, so I "stitched" the photos together for the landscape view. I am planning to frame each separately (in matching frames) so they can be hung as a pair. I'm pleased with myt expressive brushwork and atmospheric perspective of these paintngs.
