Framed "Silver Roof in Sunlight"

Silver Roof in Sunshine
Oil on Panel
11x14
Gold Frame
$375

I am still at Plymouth Notch, home of President Calvin Coolidge. Here is another nearby house. It has that amazing metal standing seam roof that works so well in a snowy location. And Plymouth Notch is VERY snowy! I was taken with how it glimmered in the sun!

Framed "The Red Roof"

The Red Roof
16x20
Oil on Canvas
Gold Frame
$575


I'm back painting in Plymouth Notch, VT, again. I love this place! This is the view with your back to Coolidge's home, and at one time it was his grandfather's farm, I think. The pond was a great reflector and the golden light just flooded everything. I like the way the distant hill went all purple; it really did that.This painting is the largest one from the travel series.

Framed "Rockport Rooflines

Rockport Rooflines
12x24
oil on prepared panel
framed in gold
$525

I'm still in Rockport. The red building is Motif #1, so called because it has been painted so many times.They even have a festival for it.  I've done my share of paintings with the building in sight. After a long morning painting, I had put all my paints away and was sitting on a bench overlooking the harbor to eat my lunch and relax. There was no rest for me because I was drawn into the amazing interplay of all the rooflines in my view. I like the overall feeling of the piece, very fresh and free and colorful and I like the masts of the pirate ship behind the building.!
