Studley Cottage, Pier Cove
11 X 14 inches, oil on vellum paper, 2026 (Sold)
Studley Cottage, Pier Cove portrays a moment of transition, as a late-fall storm moves across the lakeshore and the landscape leans toward winter. The sky was rendered in shifting blues and violets, carrying the weight of cold air and gathering weather, while wind-tossed branches and scattered leaves suggest the last restless gestures of autumn.

Against this unsettled atmosphere, the house appears partially veiled by trees—steady, grounded, and quietly luminous. Its structure offers a sense of refuge and stability; a presence held gently within the larger forces of season and storm. The painting seeks to capture a tension between the exposure of some of the threatening circumstances of or current epoch with the stability of the history of Studley Cottage.
