Yellow Roses

My Basset Hound Archie passed away two weeks ago at the ripe old age of 13 1/2. I spent the previous two weeks spending every moment with him that I could, knowing that my old friend and companion was nearing his end. These flowers were a sympathy arrangement. 6x6

Changing Times

It feels to me sometimes that after 6 years this blog has run it's course. I thought for a while I would just start a new blog or simply let the blogosphere go. One thing ...as far as marketing goes I've had a lot of success on facebook this past year, so I'm much more inclined to post the freshly finished painting there. However as a side gallery to my website I think Chuck Law's Art Pages should continue on. It's also my easiest and favorite archive for all the smaller works I've produced since going "professional". So what am I trying to say here...the blog will ultimately continue on, but the posts will be less frequent as they've been for a while. Meanwhile here is one from last week. Winter Evening on Monroe. 9x12

Merry Christmas

Sorry for the blog neglect. I haven't been doing the daily's for the last few months. A few commissions that couldn't be posted publically. I plan to get back into plein air full time after the New Year!!

September Sunrise with Bird

From the Stone Harbor Causeway last month. I went back in a few days ago and altered a few things with this. My goal is for better paintings. Slowly I've let go of my need to depict the landscape exactly as I see it. Impression: Sunrise :) 8x10

Work in progress: Great Falls

A scene from Patterson NJ. A friend took me up there last spring to show me this wonderful place. The second largest waterfalls on the East Coast! This has been so much fun to paint! 36x24

Like a Picture

This beautiful sailboat really did cruise by when I did this 5x7. I painted it in first before it was gone, then filled in the rest I knew it might look staged, but who could resist!?

Day's End, Patcong Creek
