Art of the Watershed
A series of seasonal images of the Lower Chartiers Watershed
"I have travelled a good deal in Concord," said Henry David Thoreau in Walden, his paradox of exploring a small town and its surroundings teaching him as much about human life and the interactions of nature as if he had traveled rare and exotic places about the globe.
I'd love to paint faraway exotic places, but in the interests of time I stay close to home for my hiking, bicycling, canoeing, walking and painting excursions, that being the valley where the Lower Chartiers Creek flows.
I've seen some exquisite sights on my adventures, and committed them to various media. The most moving are the ones I've chosen to paint large and in detail so that I might convey at least a portion of the grandeur that moved me beyond awe to action, sharing the places right around us though most people would never see them. Thus was born the series offering an image indicative of the watershed in each season.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS |
||
Woven Cotton Throw (Dusk in the Woods only) |
||
I found a company that converts the artwork to a tapestry-style weaving, not an imprint, and I was sold. The blankets are made in the USA of 100% USA-grown cotton, and they are so soft and comfortable that I've been using some of my samples. All blankets are fringed with black and white fringe on the sides and multi-color fringe on the top and bottom. These blankets are 36" x 50", large enough to cover you on the couch. They come with a zippered bag for storage.

Mousepad |
||
Stain-resistant high-density foam, 8-1/4” x 9-1/8”, rounded corners, image bleeds off the edges. Note: artwork may be cropped on one or more edges to proportionally fit the size of the mousepad. Because Morning on the Creek is a vertical painting, and this mousepad is horizontal, I’m not offering the mousepad for this piece. |
