Twilight (Sold)

This is a Folk Art painting with very dark areas and a bright sunshine coming in from the right with strong shadows going across the painting.  You can follow the country road going past the white barn and house then the red barn on the left and the edge of the dark lake on the right.  The road travels far into the distance past rolls of hay and into the low hills in the background.   If you look closely you can see the effect of the tinting both in the foreground and the background of this primitive style painting. Be sure to click on the painting to see my other primitive, country and folk art prints.

Summer Showers (Sold)

I believe we have sold more of this country print then any of the others. People seem to connect with the bright light coming through just after the shower passed in this quiet rural scene in this painting..  The colors, the richness of the earth and the cluster of barns almost feel like a group of friends gathered together. The watercolor paper makes a beautiful image that enhances the contrast and colors in this folk art print.  The tinting creates the distance with a haze in the background leading up to the country sky on this peaceful farm.

Mechanics

This is a fun abstract painting that has both a strong left to right flow and an intermittent vertical movement.  A blue slate background with energetic black lines moving vertically with turns and lines give it a strong, lively feeling.  The vibrant greens create the left to right dynamism and the red hues help to separate the two ideas.  As in most of my work, you will find plenty of tinted colors and layers of painting with a lot of brush work on the surface to control the movement and help the eye travel the width and breadth of the painting.  The strength of the lines and the shapes give it the mechanical feeling and power.

Tempest (Sold)

This is another abstract painting where movement is the key.  In this drip art painting I wanted to move around the canvas- falling off the edges but continuing the movement. It has a powerful feeling like a wave or storm at sea.  The change in colors and shapes from left to right are dramatic and seem to get deep like a dark ocean on the right side.  Dripping and splashing the paint and layering over and over creates the overall feeling of the painting which is similar to the work of Jackson Pollock.

Valley Lookout (Sold)

This primitive artwork idealizes a place where you can look out over the valley with the country life below:  Black  and white buildings with a garden on the right and the planted fields on the left, a rocky hill leading down and a hint of a lake in the distance- a quiet still place in the country. This is one of my early barn paintings and the image has been doing well for years.

Village at Mountain Lake (Sold)


The thing I like about this folk style painting is the view, the rough planted field in the foreground with little light and the sun reaching in on the right across the fields, the lake and the small country village with small groups of houses and barns, the church standing at the top of the hill and the dark sky giving way to the light.  Primitive style paintings like this that let us know, America is a beautiful place.

Sunflowers (Sold)

This is a fun painting. The funky sunflowers, the container and the green bench give an  American Folk Art look with bright colors.  As with most of my work, the tinting helps brighten the light areas and enhance the shadows in this slightly primitive style original artwork.  When framed in a dark wood with a little gold trim and a white matte, the colors seem to brighten even more.

Silent Night (Sold)

The folk art style of the barns and the chapel give this painting a true country look. The snow covered countryside give this idyllic town a quiet feel. The reflection in the icy pond shows the effect of the tinting which goes through the complete painting. The watercolor paper makes a beautiful image that enhances the contrast and colors of this quiet country scene.

River Camp (Sold)

This painting depicts a little red cabin in the Adirondacks that we pass on the way to our summer camp.  There are tiny country cabins all along the river.  The bold folk art shapes and bright oil pastel colors give this painting an innocent childlike look.  It looks a little like crayon and goes well with the technique and the primitive effect I’m looking for.  It’s fun, simple, bright and cheerful. It tells of a simpler uncomplicated time.

American Barns

The most striking thing about this Contemporary American Folk Art piece are the strong, primitive shapes. The prominent, odd shape of the house on the upper right, the trees and the stark lines of the barns and roads give it character.  It conjures up the patriotism of a simpler time in American history. The bold colors work well with the strong lines of the primitive shapes.
