Holyoke view 38x38” started this one in August. Was challenged by trying to get that misty morning light which I love so much. I think it’s done now. #oiloncanvas #oilglazing #quietlandscape #morninglandscape #landscapepainting #landscape #newenglandartist #atmosphere #holyokemountainrange

I suppose it could go either way. There’s a small pond near my house with a family of beavers making a beautiful mess. This #oiloncanvas is 20x28”Started out all neat and tight. Looked stiff and boring until I messed it up and it came alive. #beautifulmess #upsidedown #reflection #pond #atmosphere #landscapepainting #onmywalk

New drawings. All about 9x7” or so. End of November. Everything goes down. Inside. Brown, ochre, warm grays. Low sun. Dried goldenrod, queen-ann’s lace. A purple mountain. A plowed field. Dead head mums bend over the planter. The last is a gnarled oak from the top on Long Mt. #holyokerange #mtpollux

Give an hour… get a drawing! Out My Window, On

Give an hour… get a drawing!

Out My Window, On my Walk. I offer these little labors of love to anyone willing to donate an hour of their current or most recent wage to help support diversity, equity and inclusion at The UMass Department of Architecture. The Architecture Access Fund was established in 2020 to help address a lack of diversity in the architecture student body, and ultimately the profession. This scholarship helps support socioeconomically disadvantaged UMass Amherst undergraduates and high school students attending the Summer Design Academy.

How it works...
• Pick out a drawing (or 3!) from the album @apearts , by date
• Tell the gallery attendent which drawing(s) you want
• pay the equivalent of one hour of your most recent hourly wage (ie. $15/hr...or $150/hr) for each drawing
• the gallery will mark that drawing “sold”
• Pick your drawing up the week of Nov 2-5 at the gallery
• Or leave an address and I will mail it to you

The show is up for 2 more weeks so hurry 😊 already sold over 25. of 100.

Payment options...
By moble phone to UMass direct (tax deductable, requires contact info)
• search UMass gives> Give Now> Pick Area: Architecture> further instructions: “Arch Access Fund. APE drawing”. enter billing info • show gallery attendant reciept on your iphone
By Venmo: (easier, but not tax deductable)

By check:

Not sure what to think of this swamp painting. I’ve been working on it since February. Originally it was a horizontal landscape then it turned into a butterfly which I tried really hard to make work but couldn’t. Finally the butterfly died, rolled onto its side and became a swampy landscape. Can’t decide if it needs anything else. There’s so much paint on it. Feels very heavy and muddy but also kind of enchanting it a weird way
