Dog's Head Pool

Dog's head pool       oil on panel   12x16   $250  bradley fox

Between all the rain this summer, I have managed to get outside to paint some. I have also been rained on more times than I care to admit. Dog's Head is an easy place to get to from where I live, so with the threatening rain it makes a good place to paint. One can easily run for cover from here. This painting reflects the dripping humidity and heat of the day as I saw and felt it.

Small Study, Dog's Head

Small Study; Dog's Head      oil on panel  3.5x7   2008   $125   Bradley Fox

Small Study to try to capture the sense of space. The calm space the water exists in,versus the structure of the banks.

Along the Lamoille

Above the falls at Dog's Head the water of the river swirls around  and created this sandbar with very calm water on the down-river side. It makes an almost tropical feel to the vegetation there.  Yet  another challenge and unique scenery for VT.

Dog's Head II

                                                    Dog's Head II     oil on panel 11.5 x 16   2008 bradley fox  $325

Another view from this fascinating place.  I am still going bigger with the panel size, and I think it is allowing my painting to be more expressive in terms of the brush strokes.

Dog's Head on the Lamoille

There is a rock formation on the Lamoille River that looks like a big St. Bernard looking out over the falls. It isn't a big falls but it opens up to the flat tidal pool you see here. I am currently standing on the Dog's head rock formation looking downriver. I have also increased the size of my panel to paint on. Either I am getting gutsy or foolish!  At least the frogs enjoyed watching me from the pools all around.

Barnyard Backdoor

                                                                                                                                                                                                         barnyard backdoor   oil on panel 8x8  2008                 bradley fox   $225

Another  trip to the barnyard yielded this  painting. I was drawn to the sharp shadows of the mid-afternoon light. We haven't seen much of the sun this summer so the shadows were that much more exciting.
