This watercolor was painted in the studio from a photo Ray took during
a ski trip to Kilington, VT. He cut out the ski trails that were visible
in the background because they were too distracting.

Colorado is a beautiful state. Ray's oldest daughter and family
live there so he and his wife, Marie, visit quite often. This is just
one view of the many gorgeous areas

This is a farm along Cole Road in Boston, New York. Ray and his family
lived on Lower East Hill Road onthe Boston/Colden town line. Some of the
trips along this road and Lower East Hill Road during the winter lake effect
snow storms were the hairiest he ever experienced.

This Dutch canal boat (the Brandaries) is now docked in Wickford,
Rhode Island just behind the gallery (Five Main) that shows Ray's work. One
Christmas, presents were placed in a dingy off her stern for the
holidays. Ray painted this from a photo he took on that occasion.

Sometime, when you are in Western New York, take a drive on Route
20A East, from East Aurora toward Warsaw. The road undulates over hills
through beautiful countryside dotted with farms and, if you stop along the
way, you'll find time has not moved much since the last time you visited,
thirty years ago.
