These old mill town paintings with the light are stunning, they remind me of my RI home! I have family from England, makes me wonder if my family settled in our small mill town, because it reminded them of home. What a blessing to have a view of these and the fields when painting.
Kim, that's interesting. I didn't realise Rhode Island (that is the RI, right?) had small mill towns. I wondered why I was always drawn to New England when I did American Studies at university. Now I know! Yes, your family must have felt at home. We are lucky to have both where we live, some of the old buildings and architecture and stunning countryside nearby. Thanks for visiting.

What you do with light is a balm to the soul. After a long day of teaching, finding this has made me so happy.
Take care,

Dang this is good...
Many thanks Barbara and Sheila. Kind of you to visit.
Hi Sheila.
Brilliant reflections. All the best.
Vic.
Thanks Vic - it helps that the canal is so still. I hate painting "moving" water!
Interesting shapes and abstract quality to the composition. Lovely piece!
Thanks Diana, I enjoy pushing the abstract shapes in these small scenes if I can.
