Corn Crib in Morning Sun

Corn Crib in Morning Sun, 7 x 5 inches, oil on panel.

A huge corn crib, on a bright summer morning. The silhouette created by the morning sun, against the brilliant yellow sky, creates the monument the series of barn paintings is about.

Leaning in Morning Sun

Leaning in Morning Sun, 4 x 5 inches, oil on panel.

Another Oregon barn, this one near La Grande. As I got an early start headed home from visiting family in the eastern part of the state, I passed by this barn. It was beginning to fail, leaning a bit off plumb, in the warm morning light.

The summer show season is over, and I'm back at work on a consistent basis. I am getting ready for a show at my alma mater, SUNY Geneseo, at the end of January, so I won't be doing as many of the small pieces - Just one or two per week.

In order to give folks a bit of an idea what is behind the paintings, I put together an animation of the creation of this first piece of the fall season.

Storm in the Keys

Storm in the Keys, oil on panel. 8 x 10 inches, framed size 13 x 15 inches.

A larger piece than usual, for a specific reason. The funds generated will go to an educational fund for the son of a friend who passed away this spring. I will cover the shipping.

A summer hiatus.

I'll be taking a break from the Small Work for the next couple months. The demands of the summer show schedule, and a necessary break.

Back in early fall. Have a great summer!

Depot

Depot, 6 x 4.5 inches, oil on panel.

No, not a barn, but barn-like.

An old railway depot in Lakeville, NY, the small town at the north end of Conesus lake, a stones throw from our home in South Lima.

The depot functions as storage these days for Smith Lumber. I've passed by it a bazzilion times over the years, but the sun was shining and and the bright yellow sky caused me to see it in a new light.
