Red Maple Fists

Flaming red maples subdued by increasing cold and darkness, go dormant. Sap fails to rise. The leaves dry into ruddy, seven-fingered hands that clench shut into tight fists which shake angrily in the frigid winds.

Red Maple Blue Sky

Another ode to Red Maples. One would think such strength, such vibrance would be indominable and unending, but no. This show will last for only a week, maybe two.

Creative Forces

Not always pretty! Clean canvas disappears under chaos of color, pristine new paint tubes squeezed and crinkled, brush bristles mashed, food grade containers coated with layers of acrylic residue, a white apron carelessly smeared, a pallet of rainbows becomes thunderclouds at midnight.

Red Maple in November

• sold

While jogging last weekend, my wandering attention was captured by the sight of a flaming-red maple crowning a green lawn. The contrast of blue sky and gray bare branches further emphasized this ecstasy of light and color. Backlit leaves are the stained glass of my wild cathedral.

Wind on Bennett's Pond

A view of Bennett's Pond in Ridgefield Connecticut, hiking along the Ives Trail, on the western edge of the pond facing east. Wind ripples the surface of terraced water levels, the work of beavers. A fallen trunk, the base sculpted, chiseled by incisors, now used as an elevated platform from which rodent kings observe their domain. The single drowned maple, stands in the foreground as if thrust into the water like a javelin heaved by Paul Bunyan from towns away.

Milkweed

In the meadows along the trails to Bennetts Pond in Ridgefield, Connecticut, milkweed pods rattle in the wind. Gusts tug at the silken parachutes, sending seeds adrift over the landscape.

November Sunset 1

In northwest Connecticut, November is the month of sunrises and sunsets. Leaves drop in the last week of October and by the first week of November the sky is suddenly exposed. Day length and the set of the clock aligns sunrise and sunset with commuting hours, when dazzling distractions cause traffic jams. In this painting, the center of New Fairfield, looking east, clouds are momentarily washed with luminous hues I cannot reproduce.
