Taylor Sawmill Completed

Taylor Sawmill in Derry, New Hampshire, is a water powered, vertical sawmill and operates during the summer months.  It’s open two Saturdays a month, and when the water behind the dam is high enough to turn the overshot wheel.

Painting of Taylor Sawmill Started

I began a painting of the Taylor Sawmill in Derry NH. This is a water powered, vertical sawmill and operates two Saturdays a month when the water level is high enough. I began with a very smooth canvas and a monochrome painting of Burnt Sienna to work out the composition.

I have the sky, trees and dam roughed in; and I’m now making some structural corrections as I go along. This is one of those paintings that is going well right from the beginning. Stay tuned!
