Ithaca Falls

6" x 8" (15.3cm x 20.3cm), oil on canvas board ; SOLD

This is a study I did for a larger painting (coming soon) of the falls in Ithaca, NY. There are several gorges in the area, carved into the mountainside by the retreating ice of a glacier after the last ice age. They are the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever experienced! Each gorge has what seems like hundreds of waterfalls, some very small and some very high. The magical thing about them is that as you walk up the man-made trails along each gorge you are constantly rewarded around each new turn with a series of falls more breath-taking than the ones before. If you're looking for an amazing place to hike this is it!

St Peter's Rocks

11" x 14", oil on canvas; $350 USD

There is a beautiful area not far from where I live called St. Peter's Village. It's basically a tiny artist colony nestled in the woods next to a creek. The unique and amazing thing about this area is that there is an enormous concentration of large boulders, both in the hills above the creek and in the creek itself. There is a long stretch of the creek where the water is cascaded through the rocks forming countless tiny waterfalls and tight passages. This is a scene I captured with my camera one afternoon while hiking. I'm planning on doing a series of paintings inspired by this area.
