Three Miniatures



The bottom is an 8x10 oil of the Hopper with Greylock at the right, another version of what I have recently done in other media. The top two are 5x7 pastels on acrylic washes. I think I am going to do a bunch of the small views until something starts to move somewhere. The small things force me to generalize, keep it simple, and not get bogged down in details.

These have a wonderful sense of "place", Bob, and of the season. My wife and I spent time in northern CT with friends over the weekend and you've captured perfectly the color and feeling of the light and snow. I especially like the composition and snow value and color in the second one.

Brian, Thanks. Northern CT is very much like MA, esp. when it comes to snow and light.
