TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON

Celebrating the ever changing color palette of our landscape in Upstate New York; Acrylics, Watercolors and Silk Dyes.

If you are a painter, painting the seasons just seems like a natural thing to do, in Upstate New York. Living here we are greeted with an ever-changing palette of colors as the seasons shift.

The year begins with wispy whites, shimmering in the pale winter sun. Spring brings us delicate green tendrils, curling up from the ground. At last!

Summer is glorious and filled with color. Flowers, fruits, blue skies and sunny days! Ah, we wish that it could last forever! Fall is glorious too as trees show off their “Sunday best”, their color rivalled only by the brilliant orange pumpkins.

And then the sky grows heavy and leaden, and the bare silhouettes of trees settle in for their long winter nap.

And the cycle begins again.
