So beautifully evocative. Makes me homesick (Yank who lived in Vermont for a while, now in the UK)....

Ditto ! A refugee from Gotham City & the Empire state, I have an heartfelt nostalgia for those long ago idyllic summers north of Rhinebeck (looking up at that red triplane) and beyond !

I love my original oil painting, my first such. I now own "Battenkill River from bridge, Greenwich NY, August".

I enjoyed viewing your paintings. I am also an artist, working mostly in pastel but do oil paintings as well. The local art group in our little German community of Fredericksburg, TX is named Die Kunstler von Fredericksburg.

Love Fredericksburg - It has a lot in common with Upstate New York, having lived in both areas ... Particularly north on TX 16.

Love these areas - Beauty and Catastrophe is hauntingly perfect. Where might I purchase some of these suitable for framing?

Georgia O’Keefe pronounced when moving West to paint that there was too much green….but you found some color. Nice, beautiful feeling works!

I said it to you a year or two ago, but I must say it again with this recent grouping; absolutely LOVELY paintings, the words sweet and true come to mind. Interesting gift that you have Jim. You paint with paint and you paint with words. Hmn...

I'm curious do you show your paintings at a local gallery? I'm thinking of heading up north this summer to see your part of our country for the first time and would like to view them in person.

Your paintings have a lovely consistent light to them. Are you a “plein air” painter? Do you take photos?

No photos ever. Always sur le motif.
