This was the last Woodstock landscape. The frame shop closed. I returned to live with my parents in El Paso, Texas. My missing front tooth was replaced. I left NYC and went to Woodstock to work in Mike's frame shop in 1969. I was enthralled by the beauty of New England. “Landscape with Yellow Field” was painted outside in a day, Van Gogh style. Prepare the canvas the night before. Get on site early in the morning when the light is cool. Paint all day. By the end the light is yellow and the shadows are reversed. Much has happened.
