“Rocks Remain”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
It was a warm and beautiful day. I went to the beach to watch the light dim, the colors turn to gray and the waves lull me from evening into night…
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.

“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…

“Spring Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
A rainy blowing evening sitting in my van while painting the rock strewn beach. The fog added mystery and the rain intensity of color to the scene. All was appreciated from the dry warmth of the driver’s seat with my easel in my lap…

“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…

“Great Rock, Spring”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I am back in my summer studio and out painting again, now that the move is over. It is still spring here by the ocean. Some leaves are out and some are just beginning to unfurl. Landscape color is delicately beautiful as it changes from buds to foliage…

“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…

“Clam Point”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Compared to summer, this is a quiet place in early spring. No boats out on moorings. No paddle boards floating by. With water temperature near 50˚F, it is still too cool for much water activity except for waterfowl and fish and Osprey…

“Wasque from Left Fork”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Wasque (way-sque (as in squeek)), off in the distance, is one of the most terrific fishing spots on Chappaquiddick Island. It is the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Sound tides 90 degrees to one another, a turbulent place for waves, fish, bait, boats and fishermen. This view is hardly ever noticed as one drives right past while going to South Beach. The foreground is Herring Creek and the farther body of water is Katama Bay. I only noticed this because I had gotten out of my car and had gone for a bird walk looking for Great Blue Heron in the Creek…

“Quansoo Creek”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This scene attracted me a year ago, but the pond has been over full of water until now. Only when the dune has been cut open to the sea does it get this low…
