5 x 7 inches - oil on gessoboard - found on a street in Stratford, this little house is neatly tucked behind a hedge that protects it from the sounds of the street.

View to the Roof

5 x 7 inches - oil on gessoboard - While staying in Stratford, I looked up and caught this scene.  I liked the shapes that the old roof created against the sky.

Yellow House

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - In this spring scene, yellow is the focus. It's always hard to decide what details to leave out and what to add.

Red Brick House

6 x 5 inches - Oil on Gessoboard - Here is an interesting house we came upon during our travels.

Legacy B and B

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - We recently made one of our annual pilgrimages to Stratford to spend some time with friends and family and to see some great theatre, and of course to indulge in good food and conversation. This is the b and b we stayed at.

The End Of The Road

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - This old place gave many good years to the people who spent their lives in its care but now it is the end of the line.

Abandoned House

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - I tried using a short-handled soft flat brush on this one. It helped me with control.

Private Cottage by the Sea

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - You have to be tough to live in a place like this.

House by the Sea

6 x 6 oil on gessobord. I worked on this one over and over with many redos but I think it now evokes the sense of the coast that I was looking for.
