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.

“After The Hay”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I painted 2 paintings the evening this field was baled into hay. The first was from about 100 feet away and posted here about 8 paintings ago. In this one the field breathes with its new freshly shorn look and the shadows rake neatly across it…
“Split Rock, East”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
This is always a nice place to paint. The sun sets almost straight ahead in the winter, but now, in summer, this face of the rock gets light at the end of the day…
“Hot Summer Day”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
This was the first day of summer. The weather obliged. The skies were blue and the temperature went from the 60’s yesterday to the mid 80’s this day. And did I mention that there was a breeze to keep the bugs at bay!…
“blank Cola Creek”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
This little stream is known locally as blank Cola Creek. In the autumn when the leaves and acorns fall, a lot get washed into this water shed. Their tannin turns the water the color of blank Cola…
“Slack Tide, Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
There has been quite a bit of fog, lately. Ten minutes before I started this painting, it was sunny with good shadows…
“Evening Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I drove right by this tranquil scene, the fog was so thick. When I rounded the bend in the road, I could just make out this boat. I turn about and was able to park and get this painting mostly done. Then I noticed car headlights going past getting brighter and brighter. Or was the evening getting darker and darker…
“Sailing Lambert’s Cove”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
The joy of spring is that one never knows what to expect around the next bend, as the season turns toward summer. I had no thoughts of a sailboat appearing as I started this painting. Now I may start to anticipate sailboats as I move on to newer water views…
“Spring Leads To Summer”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Spring rain and warm weather have brought the dune grasses back to a vibrant green. Lounging on the beach and playing in the surf are closer than you think…
“Forest Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
At a new location (for me), I followed a path which wandered through a swamp and over a small stream or two. Then this clearing appeared on slightly higher, dryer ground. Emerging from the closeness of the swampy shrubbery walls of the trail to the openness of this space, made me appreciate the larger view this afforded. The tree trunks were like umbrella poles with their developing canopies overhead. A fog lingered at the edge of view, maintaining a surreal quality to the place as a stonewall laced along the back…
“On My Walk”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I pass this house a few times a week on my winter’s daily walk. It always makes me smile when I come upon it. Sometimes there are otter in the little saltwater estuary and sometimes duck and now a chorus of red wing blackbirds. At low tide the pond is mostly empty and high can fill it to the brim. I won’t try to paint this again until fall as the poison ivy is leafing out and it was up to my waist where I stood…
