I just returned home from a wonderful trip to The Catskills , The Adirondacks , NYC and Gettysburg with my partner Erik Koeppel. The first stop was NYC , where I taught a plein air workshop in Central Park , through The Grand Central Atelier. Here is a photo of the class at Gapstow Bridge , which is such a beautiful spot. The class was actually full with 12 students! 
Here I am working on my demo painting from the workshop , I always like to have my drawing on had has you can see.
We then headed down to Gettysburg P.A. we we both participated in The History Meets The Arts Show. Here is some of my work from the show:
“Early Morning on The Hudson River” 12 x 18 in. Sold
“On the Beaten Path” 11 x 14in.
“Scene of Sunset” 6 x 11 in. Sold
“Le lever de la lune” 16 x 20 in.
Here are some photos of the event.
After Gettysburg , we then journeyed to one of our favorite places in the world , The Clove in The Catskill mountains. These mountains were home to one of the best movements in landscape painting , The Hudson River School. Their is nothing like visiting the same spots that Thomas Cole , Sanford Gifford , and Asher B Durand had spent time painting.
This time we were fortunate to paint at Artist’s Seat in Onteora Park, Inspiration Point , Twilght Park and Kaaterskill Falls. Below is a photo of all of my paintings made on the trip, all works in progress of course.
Next we went to The Adirondacks! To attend Eric Rhoad’s The Publishers Invitational. Here are some photos from there. 
There i am working in the lower left corner, what beautiful landscape.
Here I am working on my little painting.
And here is all the Plein Air Invitational Attendees!
We had a ball ! Another fun productive trip. Stay tuned for the finished works….
Here is some works that are going to be in the show!
Thank you to everyone who came to the opening of “pictures serene and sublime” this weekend, and of course thank you to everyone who made the show possible,namely Randall H. Bennett, Director of the Bethel Historical Society, for lending his collection, and making this exhibition possible. It was a wonderful opening , and the show will continue to hang until August 31, so if you have not seen the show there is still time to check it out. here are some photos of the show:
the paintings on the white walls are contemporary and the paintings on the old wooden walls are historic white mountain art .
One of the over riding messages from our show (as illustrated in this historic map) was that the White Mountains are not just in New Hampshire they extend well into Maine.
Thank you for reading!
