Will you be adding the pastel works here? Or the watercolor studies? You do such beautiful work and inspire us all to “get out there!”

You have only to ask…I’ve uploaded the drawings with the pastel touches. There will soon be a new page with sketches and watercolor studies. This one is getting overloaded with images already. Thanks for the request, and hope you like the new work!

I have just spent a long time looking at this forest notebook, admiring the drawings and also walking in the forest with you. I hadn’t even seen a forest in years and I had almost forgotten what it was like. Thanks. Your great drawings pointed things out I might have missed on my own.

On this page, I especially like the two drawings where you’ve got the light, yellow green color in the background. I feel this adds such depth, I can get the feeling that I’m standing there too. Great work!

Oh! How I miss New England! I was born in NW CT and lived for 8 wonderful years on Cape Cod. Visiting often the site of the Outermost House and Nauset Marsh, drawing the seasons and taking photgraphs for those days when the winter winds blew harshly against my little house.
Then, later I found my way to a small town 11 miles south of Boston and spent a large amount of time in Waldon’s Woods…Oh! How I miss it all!

Oh! I LOVE the watercolor study from the Quabbin Reservoir! How did I miss that one?!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful work and all the information and tips on how you create it. It is very inspiring. I could look at your drawings and paintings forever because we share the same vision of being in the wild places. You have captured not just the images but also the moods so very well. Thank you for your life and your generosity.
