Satterthwaite Farm House Portrait

Voices from the past exist in our everyday lives. There are many places, objects, and images that capture our hearts and minds to evoke intense human emotions. I passed this Satterthwaite Farm House for many years and watched it deteriorate, always hopeful that someone or an organization would save it. I love Bucks County people and places. This Farm House located on the Patterson Farm property, has imprinted the History it holds on my mind. I look at the dilapidated exterior and can only image all the lives, generations, births, deaths, activities, celebrations, and sadness that have taken place in that interior environment. It is all very important to our current situation and life experiences. I can only do the one activity I feel will best express and save this wonderful extension of all our lives. I have painted images of this Satterthwaite Farm House to share with you and hopefully many generations to come. Please enjoy the memories and be happy for those who left us something to remember ;)

Yardley Farm

The old weathered barn is a thing of beauty to me.  that fact coupled with the old red tractor called to me to paint this scene. I wanted to add some additional points of interest so I may have over emphasized the weeds and flowers but the distant farm is just as it appeared that day. Title: Yardley Farm, Size: 16 x20" Medium: Oil on Canvas, Price $3200.00 USD

Patterson Corn

Thank you GOD! I love SPRING and FALL :) This is the first of several paintings that have been inspired by the change in the weather. It took a while for me to decide on this particular image because of the corn! Never attempted it before. Now I can scratch that off the bucket list. It was actually fun. More to come!

Patterson Farm Tractor Portrait

I usually paint what I experience or find interesting. My subjects are people places and things that I have some connection. I also paint objects that I find to be beautiful in some way. I like to challenge myself to paint scenes I think may be difficult. This Oil Painting is a Tractor Portrait. I have painted many paintings of the Patterson Farm in Yardley, Pa. This is one more.

You may ask why would paint a tractor. I spent many years as a heavy equipment operator, process control tech, and a technical illustrator of military manuals. So I understand and have an interest on how these machines operate and are put together. Hope it is interesting to you also!

Amazing Leaves

Finding Inspiration comes from many places. Bucks County has always been an area of abundant talent. It is the home to some of the most amazing Artists in the world. So I feel truly blessed to have been raised and experience the Great Artists of Bucks County and surrounding areas. Part of that experience is visiting local Shows and Exhibits for the pure joy of the visual arts and also for inspiration.

I went to a local gallery in the Yardley, Pa. area operated by a non-profit

Artist group, "Artists of Yardley". This group has a beautiful renovated stone house which is used for many purposes including an excellent Art Gallery. I walked through the current show and was very pleased with all the local talent. It was time to leave and my mind was spinning with painting ideas. As I walked to my car, I just happened to look down and was stopped in my tracks. Just my luck the most wonderful arrangement of colorful leaves were arranged feet from my car by nature. This is how the current Oil Painting came to be.

I started the Oil Painting over a year ago. Sometime very difficult paintings will be set aside until I am ready to tackle the challenge. Our current isolation because of the Corona Virus presented the perfect time to enjoy nature. Hope you like it
