This is a cute shed and birdhouse near the end of Benton Road as it approaches Lackawanna State Park. I love the colors in the winter trees in late afternoon. The title of this watercolor is "Shed in Late Day Winter Light".
For the past forty years this shed first served as a play house with dutch door and a ladder to the loft. Now it shelters an assortment of tools and fertilizer. Until about half a dozen years ago, the shed was sheltered by a huge Eastern Hemlock. Sadly, we've missed the graceful tree and felt the shed was too bare and exposed. Your painting reminds us what a peaceful setting this is. I sent your site to my son (who spent many fun years in the loft) and he voted this painting his favorite.
I have always loved making art. As a small child I would doodle for hours on end. "Learn to Draw" with Jon Gnagy was one of my favorite TV shows! As I grew older I experimented with various painting media including Watercolor, Oils, Acrylics and Pastels. As an art major in college, I was exposed to additional media including ceramics and some printmaking. After college, I worked in the computer field, pursued my MBA, married and raised a family. In 2001 I began painting again and haven't put down my brush since! I have done artwork for friends, family and other interested folks and will take on pretty much any project. I love a challenge and so enjoy bringing a dream to fruition. My painting subjects include portraits of people, places, pets, vehicles, objects, homes, churches, flowers, still life and the landscape. I love to paint outdoors on location and I am a signature member of the Pennsylvania En Plein Air Society. I currently work in watercolor, soft pastels and some water mixable oils. My style is representational and somewhat impressionistic. If you have a project or a dream you would like to see in paint feel free to contact me and perhaps I can assist you!
