Rivers & Streams - Sharing the Moment

Here are a few more of the paintings that I have in my show "Sharing the Moment", currently running at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ.

Otto's creek is what I call a small nameless(?) creek at Otto's Farm Park in Hillsborough, NJ.  This park is very close to my home and I often paint here when I don't feel like driving anywhere further.   I like having a spot I can get to quickly, with little fuss:

"Otto's Creek"
6x8" oil on canvas

This scene on Rockaway Creek is located somewhere between the towns of Oldwick and Cokesbury in Tewksbury Twp, NJ.    I painted this small 8x10" version on location, en plein air:

"Rockaway Creek" (plein air version)
8x10" oil on linen

Sometime later, back in the studio, I painted this larger 18x24" version using the plein air painting and photographs for reference:

18x24" oil on canvas

Here's another spot near my home that I've painted often - the Neshanic River, near Neshanic Station, NJ.   Otto's Creek joins the Neshanic here:

"Spring on the Neshanic"
7x14" oil on board
