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.

“Santa Elena Canyon”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
I painted this in Big Bend National Park, an unbelievable place. This is the Rio Grand exiting out of the Santa Elena Canyon. The Canyon walls are over 1,000 feet high making this a most impressive sight. As I painted, all around me were different types of flycatchers doing their acrobatics as they sought tasty morsels flying along the river banks….
“Dove Road”, this is a Small painting, 8″x 6″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
This is down in West Texas, about an hour out of Big Bend National Park in the middle of a 12,000 acre ranch. It is a record of the time of day and the exact place where I discovered I had a flat tire. I was very lucky that I carry a mini air compressor and was able to fill it to get me on my way. No one would have found me where I was. However, I did have to stop at the Border Patrol check point and do a refill to get me back to my hotel room in Alpine… And I awoke many flocks of doves as I drove back out of the ranch after sundown, hence the title…
“2009 Self Portrait”, this is a Small painting, 8″x 6″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
After an uneventful drive back to Texas (I photo-documented it on my Face Book page), I found myself back on the ranch with just oodles of mouse turds all over the house. The nice ladies at my local phone/DSL company put my account on hold when I asked them to turn it off of vacation and on. They got tired of hearing from me after 8 phone calls and just turned on the internet today a week later. I thought it appropriate to do a self portrait for my first Texas piece of the new year. I will be driving to West Texas to paint for the next few days and might not be able to get internet each day. But I will try…
“Lighthouse, Boat Ramp”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
I didn’t know what I would find when I drove out to Eel Pond, view or wind wise. The sun was near setting and was illuminating and reflecting off of the Chappaquidick Lighthouse on the Eastern horizon. Light was reflected back to contrast against a low lying cloud bank such that the lighthouse was literally full of light…
“Coasting to Sunset”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
Another painting from the beach in the cold (gloves definitely on) evening light. It got even more spectacular after this. I posted a sunset photo of this scene on my page in Facebook for any of you who are on Facebook to look at…
“I Was Right There”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
The sun started to come out. It was 58 degrees. I was out of the wind, and it is December…
“Boulevard, Winter”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
The clouds parted just enough to give me a nice closure for the day, as the temperature dropped…
“Valley View”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
A windswept view on a cool and sometimes rainy day. The moisture brought out all the color in the Little Bluestem Grasses…

An ocean view at sunset near the end of Greenhouse Road…
“Down Island Sheep”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Another flock of sheep I’ve had my eye on for a while. Today I found them right where I wanted them, behind the split rock in the corner of the field…
