Almost everyday, while living in Harvard, I would travel along Stow Road. As you head toward the center of town, the Williams farm house looms into view. It is an antique colonial struture set on a beautiful piece of land that is both pasture and forest. Above is a watercolor I did of the property. There are barns, but not in the area where I placed them. It looks especially interesting in winter, so I set the composition in snow.
The last watercolor I did, before turning almost exclusively to oils, acrylics and soft pastels, was my most ambitious. It is a large version, 18x24, of our Annisquam house, Cherrycroft. I based it on the same glass-plate photograph from Edwin Mellen that I used to do my original oil version. To provide the foreground, I again used purple loosestrife
