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.

“Always Ready”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
It was a warm, breeze filled day. Down at sea level in the corner of the pond, I found this row boat waiting for me to paint. Sometimes, there is the danger of the boat’s owner appearing and rowing off. Today was not one of those times…

While the sunset, one of the ferryboats ventured out of the harbor. The sky glowed as it turned to dark…

The sun popped through the clouds long enough to illuminate the bridge for my painting. Then it played hide and seek with me until it set…

I had to stay in my van to paint this view. The sun was over there, but the rain was over here…
“Bittersweet Farm”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I have always wanted to do a painting of Bittersweet Farm since I was little and use to ride my bicycle past it in the summers. This gable end faces toward the road and makes it seem massive even from a distance. I believe it was built as a dairy barn and now is in use as a horse barn. It has a nice feeling there and I hope to return to create a few more paintings over the next year…
“Up The Dune”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Spotting this thundercloud while driving from east to west, or as we would say, going up-island, I tried to imagine a fun foreground to paint with the impending storm beyond it. A half hour later found me here in the dunes. As this was earlier in the day than I am use to painting, I was unsure of the shadows I would find. A cone shaped dune gave me no complaints in that department…
“Foggy Shore”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
The fog was coming in as I painted. It gave me just enough time to get all the details done before it got too overcast to finish. I always enjoy a good challenge…
“Kayak Launch”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
In summer, if it’s really hot, I’ll take an evening swim here. In winter it is a nice viewing spot to watch the sun set just beyond the point. It’s always great to paint here…
“The Old Dairy Barn”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
This was painted the day before yesterday. I didn’t like the flat sunless light in which i created it. So I went back today. The sun came out and made all the difference…
