I painted these after we moved to Beacon. I had a studio in what was then affectionately known as "Bulldog Studios" which was the old high school. I was there for two years and accomplished alot of work during that time because of an almost daily practice. Here is a small selection.

This is where I began as a painter in the mid-nineties when I moved to the Southern Tier in New York State surrounded by dense woodlands, stone walls, abandoned apple orchards and a diversity of wildlife. ...I had found my utopia.
