Night Moves

"Night Moves", 2023 watercolor, 10 x 6 1/2 inches

This scene is taken from my Mom’s back patio. I usually am up at my Mom’s place once a week. I would sit out here late at night when most of the senior residents there were asleep. I felt a very still, quietness at those times. Very peaceful.

The home on the left side of this painting, was originally owned by 19 century Cranford resident and developer, James Rodgers. It is one of my favorite homes in Cranford. I was particularly interested in the side portions of each home and the space they share between them.

"Refuge"

"Refuge", watercolor. 300 lb. Fabriano paper., 18” x 14”, unframed    $600.00.

 Our fire escape was a great spot to hang out during those warm, early November days. I was using crutches to get around and I was avoiding using the stairs to go out. I did look forward to sitting out here to draw, paint and do some reading. The fire escape was my refuge. The flowers, herbs and vegetables in the planters, were basically finished for the season, but some decorations and ornaments still remained. The reflecting sunset sparked my interest and I decided I would expand the perspective give it a wide, comfortable feel. This painting was my last studio painting in 2022.
