Stone Tavern June Morning

I have been out painting this summer, but not posting as much as I should. Here is one of my favorite landscapes in New Jersey, Stone Tavern Lake. It is part of Asumpink wildlife reserver. Right near my home in Roosevelt. It is a water color of the first morning light.

New Landscape

This one I was trying out some new colors and limiting my pallet to five colors. What do you think?

The place is in the Delaware Water Gap, in the fall I took a series of water fall hunting expeditions. The fall colors and water was irresistible.

Tape Sculpture Falling Man

This a sculpture I am planning to install in the woods near my home.

Entry for Illustration Intensive for NJ SCBWI Spring Conference

Here is my preliminary sketch for the Illustration Intensive of NJ SCBWI. I am not entirely pleased with it or the fact that I completely missed the fact that I should have done another page, but it is what it is.

WWI Soldier in the Trenches

I went to a great workshop today on making and using reed pens. This one of the works that I did there to practice using the pens I made. It is inspired by a picture by George Gross. The color one is an exercise using a glass block in front of an object. In order to find abstract lines and hidden pictures. This is a self portrait in an abstraction. I am not completely satisfied with it, but was an interesting idea.
