These landscape paintings are done from photos taken around the New England area. The paintings reflect the beauty of the area during the warmer months, the simple beauty of land, sky and water along with trees and grass.

This painting is more an experiment in painting summer greens with a row of yellow trees to create a focal point.
Picasso said, "They'll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green, never." The variety and intensity of greens that occur in nature is quite awesome. When mixing a green, use the fact that green has either a blue or a yellow bias as the starting point in determining the proportions you mix. (But remember the shade of green something is in a landscape does change depending on the time of day and what was a bluish green this morning may well be a yellowish green this evening.)
Each different blue/yellow combination will give a different green, plus the variations from the proportions of each you mix. Also experiment mixing with two blues and two yellows; and mixing blue or yellow to a 'ready-made' green.Mix a little black with various yellows and you’ll see that it produces a range of muted (or ‘dirty’) greens and khakis. (Remember to add the black to the yellow, not yellow to black;). Adding a touch of red also helps to break a bright green.
