Now November

I should add that the drawings appeared in the Concord Monitor ,
many years ago,actually enough time has passed for a child to grow up and set out on his own. I will keep adding a few drawings along with a post. This surely represents my feelings as well as the allergies it was meant to illustrate. There is something delightfully simple about a black and white drawing. No glitter to it.
But I do have a few paintings to add. It was a very hot summer and I was out often.
I find I really like to work on canvas. This little scene by the water is on a panel. When I use a canvas, the oil bar helps create a sense of diffuse light. The tube oil on top solidifies some elements, but much can remain in the uncertain area we are used to when we capture a whole scene. These are on canvas. Then there is this calming scene along the Merrimack.
