Stow, Massachusetts includes a neighborhood named Gleasondale (formerly called Rockbottom) which has been an industrial area for over two hundred years.  The Assabet River flows there. The river formerly powered a mill, manufacturing cloth, which was built around 1854.  This mill with various additions and alterations, still houses a number of businesses, including woodworkers and cabinet makers.   A newer mill was also finished in 1919 which houses local businesses.
Here is a painting done on site:
It's 9x12 inches, oil on a panel.

Next to the road in spring are fringe-petalled, small bluish daisies.  This year I learned these are asters, and painted them in a Mason jar:

This is an 8x10 size, painted on a panel.

ArtWalk Concord

On August 11, 2018 Concord had its ArtWalk, in which artists displayed their work in retail locations around the town, which then became "pop up galleries."  Here is the flyer:

Store manager Betsy Yamron helped me set up my paintings.  She moved much colorful  merchandise to make space:



 Betsy also had brought in some still life objects to set up an arrangement:
