The Blue Hole
January 2014.
I follow no painting rules, and have fun watching a canvas come to life. I have no idea how my pantings will end. This painting brings "Good Memories" hunting squirrels with my Dad and and Gramp Gilman. This place is in Chippenhook Vermont near rutland.

The covered bridge in Shrewsbury Vermont
I used archival ink pens, graphite pencils on acid free paper to draw this scene. This took me almost 40 hours to complete it. I had many good memories that flowed through my my mind while drawing this scene. d j gilman
This drawing is in a chapter of my memoir.

The backdrop took over, and a few hours later the canvas was taking a life of it's own. I just tune to the music hits of the 1960s, go into the "zone", and let the canvas decide the finish. Red Sky at Night is a sailor's delight !

No easel when working on my paintings! I found an alternative method painting on canvas. Cut several pieces of cardboard, and place beneath wood framed canvas as in photographs.
This simple adaptation allows for me to place my hands on the canvas -- thus preventing the canvas stretching. d.j. gilman

My first trial trying Impressionism style for an entire painting. I named this Spring In Vermont . The scene reminds me of an abandoned orchard at Lake Bomoseen vt , behind Gram and Gramp Mcphee camp , during the 1960s. d j gilman

Acrylic on canvas
My second attempt at impression style painting on canvas. This painting just "happened" as I tossed my recipe of acrylics colors , and I went with the flow of my moods listening to 1960s music.
I think I'll call this painting...
"Creek Happens"

I created this artwork intent upon demonstrating winter’s prism of colors when conditions are ideal during Vermont’s harsh winter season. We only need observe as nature’s mixtures of cold, sunshine, sunrays and snow, will sometimes reward us with brief moments of beauty and bursts of colors.
This artwork is a memory of mine when a snow flurry was racing across Chittenden Dam. The rays of sunlight were breaking through the storm clouds creating giving me illusion of gold dust being sprinkled onto the frozen body of water.
