I WORK EN PLEIN AIR, OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE… Welcome. I am back to painting again after a sabbatical that included a few pieces done for charitable fund raisers. I am continuing to make small, 6" x 8", landscape oils, but not every day. I am also working on larger pieces. Every time I finish a painting, I will place it here on my website. If you see something you'd like to purchase, email me. Thank you for enjoying my work and keeping me creating new pieces. Your interest stimulates and inspires me and has made me a better painter. Sign up for my emails and I will send you an image of each new painting. I love to paint and am happy to share my painting experience with you. Most of my work is impressionistic landscape oils, inspired by the beauty of the Island of Martha's Vineyard where I live.

“Tree Peony” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I visited the Polly Hill Arboritum to find this flower. It was one of the last tree peonies that had not shed any petals yet. Usually, I get here later and miss all of this type of peony. It rained in the middle of my painting session, but I hid under my umbrella and it passed quickly by…
“Spring Waters” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
There is something about the spring waters which give them a real blue green glow. In summer and fall they are a darker green and blue. In this painting the spring color is more noticable due to the relationship with the white of the buildings on either side of the water…
“May Fog” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
My first painting back on Martha’s Vineyard and it was almost fogged out. Mosquitos don’t seem to like fog, which was good for me!… .
“Evening Bud Tomorrow Bloom” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
While I was away, the cactus had just started to bloom. It makes them really stand out in the green sea of grasses flourishing after all the rains…
“Rain Dusk Dallas” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
The rain left off for part of the day and I drove over to White Rock Lake, a thousand plus acres of water on the East side of downtown Dallas. Some evenings the sky will turn to magic. If I am there then luck is with me. Tonight wasn’t bad, but sometimes the setting sun glints off the distant skyscrapers and…, well it didn’t this time. There will be other unique chances here by the lake again…
“Rose By The Pool” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
The rainy weather has kept me from the landscape for a bit. Today I found this rose near some shelter, just in case it rained again…
