Barn on Prospect Hill

Barn on prospect Hill - Pastel 16 x 20

I walk or drive by Prospect Hill Farm, dedicated to volunteer farming for hunger relief, in my town every day - http://www.community-harvest.org/. The light and shadows on one of the barns were striking on this particular winter day.

Backlit

Backlit - Pastel 10.5" x 8.5"

I was teaching a pastel class when the late afternoon light came through the trees adjacent to the property. Everyone stopped their work, grabbed their phones and snapped away. This is my own interpretation of a precious moment. 

Winter Day's End

Winter Day's End - Pastel 11 x 14

I walk this path through a corn field almost every day regardless of weather. The late afternoon winter glow makes it all worthwhile.

A new year, new resolutions and new painting subjects. I am embarking on a long term personal painting project that seems to involve a lot of sheep at the moment....

Leading the Way

Leading the Way - Pastel 7 x 9

Yesterday, my husband said "No sheep today?". So, today I obliged with another scene from the Normandy coast.

It is during this holiday season that I feel most nostalgic about my native Normandy. This early morning scene in the Salines on the coast, is to remind me of a wonderful family gathering this fall, hiking through this sheep salt meadow as the haze slowly lifted. 

Happy Holidays!

Wishing my family, friends and collectors a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, peace and love. I am so grateful to have you all in my life!

Sky Spectacle

Sky Spectacle - Pastel 9 x 6

It is winter in New England and the sun sets by mid afternoon. Too early in the day but still spectacular most days at the Fruitlands Museum's overlook.
