Indulge me here, but when I'm working, especially out in the field, I like to share. Stop by this page for works in process, shared inspirations, the occasional demo...and a bit of tweet-stream. Enjoy.

 
 
 

Putting the final touches on 'Resolute in Essex'...

 

Love the topo lines of newly mown hay...from sketch to finish. 'Inside the Curve on Church Street. Weston'

'Canoe Aglow...' beginning to take shape.

 

Sketching Gull Rock on Monhegan's eastern cliffs...

 
As pandemic swirls, so goes normality. We hold onto it, though, in little ways. In the art, nature, music we find everywhere still.

There are good days. And bad days. And then there are days you just paint a rainbow. Those are the best.

It’s really about time, people.
As promised. Love pastel on black!!
In the Rainforest Greens. Olympic peninsula , Washington. 8x8 pastel. Available unframed (work in process pic following).

33 seconds. The north wind, dry, cool. Sweeping by like a painting in blur.

Whatever did I do to deserve this? Every Memorial Day, it seems, this old friend opens up, brightens our day. This time seemingly to honor Mom, who left us but two months ago to plant her gardens in another realm.

Bad review...this art show is going nowhere. Critic-cat gives it the big yawn. Serves me right, I guess.

Treehenge never ceases to amaze. I think she, it, or whatever is coming closer...and shape shifting too.

Standing by a Vermont stream, taking in the meaning of it all. Seems the water is elemental.

Our Iwo Jima moment. Or...Ellen, Jeff, and me hoisting a big, and very heavy old portrait back onto its hanger.

It’s back again! May 6th...shifted lower than last month. England, you’ve got your Stonehenge, but we have our Treehenge. Ha. Along with the imminent full moon, this foretells of warmer, greener Spring days, I’m sure. Maybe some good plein air painting. And, of course, improved art sales. . . larrygrobartist.com #theartofplace #contemporaryart #swissamericanartist #artistsoninstagram #pastellandscape #pastels #landscapepainting #artforsale #artforsalebyartist #artcollector #artbuyer #artcurator #pleinairpainting #nature #landscape #environment #appreciatingnature #workinprocess #treehenge #sellingartonline #sellingart
Bring it inside. If we can’t meet Spring out there, we can do this. I’ll take it as a sign of a good day ahead.

The sign. I looked out this morning and saw a sign. But what is it telling me? Is it the cure for CV19? Is it Treehenge?
