Rembrandt etchings copies

 I've been doing these little 3" high pencil copies of Rembrandt etchings. 

Christ Preaching

The Triumph of Mordecai

Christ Among the Sick

It's such a good way to really see into the work, from the large compositional elements to the tiny details.

Under Pressure: A Printmaking Exhibition

 My etching "PCC Memories" will be included in the upcoming show "Under Pressure: A Printmaking Exhibition," to be held at Workshop13’s ArtWorks Gallery, 69 Main Street, Ware, MA.

There is a flourishing printmaking scene in the area, so I'm looking forward to a great show.

Saturdays & Sundays 1 to 4 pm

Opening Reception

Saturday, January 25th | 3 to 5 pm

De Chirico on Wason Ave.

I've done these RR signals several times, but usually in the morning, looking west. This is in the afternoon looking east, and including the oracular smokestack in the background.

Ink on toned paper

First Snow

 Woke up to our first proper snowstorm this morning. It wasn't very much snow but enough to frost this gnarly tree and bring out its undulating wavelike properties.

Black, white, and gray ink on toned paper

Another monolith

Sketched over two 30 minute sessions at the UMass Sun Wheel, plus detail work from reference photo.

This was interesting because of the variation in how the different facets took the light, affecting both the overall values and the textures.

Little Tinker Hill

I've done this scene a couple times before. There's something adorable about its gently curved profile that keeps bringing me back. The late afternoon light in the fall is always spectacular.

Dead Bird

Poor thing crashed into a window at the bank entrance and lay there as customers came and went.

This is likely to be its only memorial.

I'm guessing it was a swamp sparrow,  although this one's colors are a bit darker than the illustration in my Roger Tory Peterson bird book.
