Posted on April 4, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Decided to stay home and work on more old files. These red trilliums should be coming out now, this was on March 31, 2012. I decided that the bud really needed to be the star but like the leaf texture … Continue reading →

04.03.2020 Around and around we go 2

Posted on April 3, 2020 by Steve Gingold

This was actually what I first encountered when I arrived at Amethyst Brook. I hadn’t noticed the way the water moved around the large rock previously. Maybe it wasn’t quite as noticeable until the water was so voluminous. Rocks do … Continue reading →

03.25.2020 The Human Form or….?

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Steve Gingold

03.18.2020 A bit of Nature’s Chaos 2

Posted on March 18, 2020 by Steve Gingold

A little distance downstream on the West Branch of Fever Brook as it meanders through the woods in North Quabbin and leaves the pond along State Forest Road. This is a bit of an odd reflection as we are looking … Continue reading →

03.12.2020 The dark of the sun

Posted on March 12, 2020 by Steve Gingold

After shooting the geese the other day, which needed haste before they flew, I worked on this composition which was why I stopped at the pond in the first place. These trees have attracted me a few times but Monday … Continue reading →
