A View of the Blue Mountains of the Adirondacks

A View of the Blue Mountains of the Adirondacks, 2015
Acrylic on canvas
16" x 20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm)

10% OFF with coupon code JOINTHEFUN

It was a steep and treacherous hike up the mountain in the Adirondacks.  A wild region full of deer, herons, and chipmunks.  You may even find a moose, coyote, or black bear on these trails.  The dense pine forest opens up to a meadow full of brisk autumn air.  There is a startling calmness.  And from this view, it's as if we can see all six million acres of this park.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, beige, or wood.

10% OFF with coupon code JOINTHEFUN

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

HEY NEW YORK CITY FRIENDS! I have a painting that will be displayed at the New York Coffee Festival (http://www.newyorkcoffeefestival.com) by The Coffee Art Project (http://www.coffeeartproject.com/). Mark your calendars for September 25th - 27th, 2015 at the 69th Regiment Armory at 68 Lexington Avenue. #‎CoffeeArtProjectNYC‬

With sunrise at 5:29 AM, how am I expected to get any sleep?  Ugh.  I stammer out of bed to perform my usual morning routine of letting the dog out and all.  My bones ache.  I load up the coffeemaker with grounds and water.  It gurgles and puffs.  A steady stream trickling into the pot.  A mug full of caffeine to keep me awake during the day.

This piece would work in a space that is deep red, burnt orange, yellow, green, ultramarine blue, lavender purple, wood, or a neutral beige
