Harris Hill Overlook

Acrylic on canvas

A painting of the view seen on top of Harris Hill in Elmira, New York looking over into Chemung County.  I was inspired by the contrast between the golden fields and green grasses, as well as the Chemung River running throughout the scene.

Autumn Still Life

Pastel on pastel paper

18"x25"

An autumn-themed still life that I put together using some ordinary objects - gourds - I found on sale at a farm stand and a wooden bucket from a yard sale.  I haven't used pastels in quite a while, so I decided to use them for this piece to start to get more familiar in the medium again.
