Ambler, November Noon

A view of Ambler Pennsylvania in mid-autumn with the then abandoned asbestos factory buildings. The brick building with the smokestack was the power generator for the complex. Today that same building is being renovated for shops and living space and the smokestack is now "littered" with cell phone antennae. Most of the buildings in the foreground have been demolished. Many Ambler buildings can be easily identified in the painting and, about 1 mile off in the center, a water tower can be seen which stands by Wissahickon High School. I worked on this painting off and on over a span of about 5 years and completed it about the year 2000.

This is the Wissahickon just below Ambler, PA, and just (maybe 100 yards) above the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association. This oil on board was completed over 4 years time and has recently become available in a limited edition of 98 giclee reproductions, signed and numbered, on German etching paper printed with archival, pigment-based inks.

The original is 22 x 48", the print image is 14.7 x 32". They are selling for $225 each.

Butler Avenue, Sunset



The Wissahickon creek and its environs has become a major theme for my artwork. Even views that you might not associate as 'estuarial' are most likely within the Wissahickon watershed.
