Winter House (working title)

Saturday, November 30, 2013

Deerfield Orchard in Winter

Sunday, September 15, 2013

Winter Orchard in progress

Monday, September 9, 2013

Here is a view of a pen and ink drawing I am working on at the moment, inspired by a scene I saw in Deerfield, MA after a snowstorm. I loved the layered look of the rows of dormant apple trees. I am planning on taking watercolor to it once I finish with the pen […]

Delicate Morning

Friday, March 1, 2013

One morning after a snow the night before, I was leaving for work and it was so beautiful out that I ran back inside to grab my camera.

The snow drifted in front of my window made an impression on me. It was a fun storm!
