I don’t tire of painting the view down our street. For fun, I tried to set up a time lapse video but it crashed into the road. Our famous new music violinist neighbor stopped to chat, and we talked about his studies with Jascha Heifetz (no kidding), and he said he liked what I was up to which made me happy. Then J and I went to Tanglewood and I fell asleep to Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” and that was pleasant. 9x12 oil on panel #berkshiresfineart #oilpaintingcityscape #americanlandscape #allaprimalandscape #contemporarylandscapepainting #americanartist #landscapepaintings

Last time I painted from here is was in July (second image) The colors have changed a lot. The sun is lower in the sky and more to the south, so the light has changed, too. This one’s 18x24 oil on linen. #berkshirespaintings #pleinairlandscapepainting #allaprimalandscape #pleinairsummer #pleinairpainting #northernberkshires #allaprimalandscapeoilpainting #berkshirespleinair #paintingsoftheberkshires #autumnlandscapepainting
What I’m chasing with this landscape nonsense isn’t so much a picture of a place, it’s the light and color in a particular day. That’s why I often paint the same places. it’s about the light. never get it right, especially in Autumn, but sometimes I come close. I don’t hate this one. This was yesterday in North Adams. 11x14 on linen. #autumnpleinair #berkshirespaintings #pleinairlandscapepainting #allaprimalandscape #pleinairpainting #northernberkshires #allaprimalandscapeoilpainting #berkshirespleinair #paintingsoftheberkshires #autumnlandscapepainting #autumncityscape
I posted this last year the day I painted it. Now it’s headed for someone else’s wall. It’s big- 4 feet wide - and it was a good sale for me. Looks nice wit a little strip frame. That’s the extent of my framing skills. 18x48 oil on linen #berkshiresfineart #pleinairlandscapepainting #allaprimalandscape #pleinairsummer #pleinairpainting #northernberkshires #allaprimalandscape #berkshirespleinair #paintingsoftheberkshires
