Marsh Geometryoil/linen

Half Bluff, Back Bayoil/panel
9" x 12"Terry Houseworth found this great viewpoint from which to paint a bluff near the Muth Center at the Back Bay. I joined him late in the morning one day - too late unfortunately to complete my painting. The wind came up and spoiled the reflections I was working on. So I returned the next day to get them right.

Twice as Nice (Mirrored Bluff)oil/panel
