Towards Luberons, Sunset


Another view towards the mountains behind Les Bassac, a scene I could paint over and over through changing times of day, weather, and seasons (if I could spend a year looking out over this valley) and never be bored.

Home, Winter


The Vermont landscape is transformed by seasons. In winter a home's familiar face becomes mysterious, disguised under a white cloak of snow.

Vines and Sheet, Provence


When I began this watercolor in the village park in Viens, a sheet was hanging up to dry on the railing, and I liked its relationship to the white clouds, and to the curves of the vines and rectilinear trellis and building. Then out came a young lady, and down came the sheet. I decided today, finishing the painting a month later in my Vermont studio, that the empty space in the right bottom corner needed that white sheet after all.
