My father likes to say he “can’t talk without a pencil” and it is pretty much true. Armed with a pencil he talks better than anyone I know. He knocked this painting off in our last class and it knocks me out. It’s a sketch of the orchard in front of the Stone Tolan House on East Avenue and it was done from a sketch in one of his many sketch books.

  1. WOW! I just went & looked at all the watercolors on the fridge! WOW! WOW! WOW! They are fantastic…….

  2. I go by there almost everyday- or did before I got laid off, and he has totally captured the place. An orchard surrounded by 490 and Brighton mansions and apartments that still looks like it probably did 200 years ago.
