"White Umbrella"

"White Umbrella", 9 x 12, oil on panel

This is an oil version of a pastel painting I did a long time ago.  I've always loved this image.  I hope to make a trip to New York soon to collect some more cityscape references.  In the meantime, this painting as well as my recent cityscapes and tonalist landscapes will be on view at Sorelle Gallery starting this evening.  There will be a reception starting at 5 p.m. so if you are in the upstate New York region please come by!

Fall Show at Sorelle Gallery

"Early September Marsh", oil on linen, 24 x 24

This painting will be exhibited at the Sorelle Gallery's "Reveal Fall" show starting Friday, September 28th.  The show runs through October 11th so please stop by if you are in the Albany area.  This painting has been on and off my easel for a long time.  I had done several studies in pastel before starting the oil version.  I finally resolved some of the issues that had been nagging me and I am happy with it now.  This piece is quite large for me and I really enjoyed painting larger.  Hopefully more to follow.
