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 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…
“Life in a Rose” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
This is the painting which was supposed to be before the “Magnolia Moment”. After all that white in the Magnolia, this feels intense! It is an old fashion type of rose with multiple petals, some going in contradiction to the others…
“Magnolia Moment” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I started out this rainy day to snip and paint another flower from my brother’s garden. But this freshly opened and damp magnolia stole the thunder from all other blooms around the house. Luckily it did not start to close until I was most of the way through the painting….
“Spring Fog, V.H.” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
There was a wind today over 19 mph which kept me from painting. While organizing my canvases in the studio, I found a few I had forgotten and had never put on my website. This would be wistful thinking about my up coming summer on Martha’s Vineyard…
“Live Oak Grove” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I found this grove a few weeks ago on one of my scouting trips coming back home from Weatherford the long way. It was such a splendid grove that I had stopped and taken multiple photos of it to burn the image into my consciousness. Of course, that only works when I see the photos again! Which I did this morning and waited until near evening to catch the light right. The cattle were a bonus when I got there to paint…
“Evening Birdbath” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I mowed the lawn today. Or I should say the weeds. They had grown twice as high as the grass from the rains we just had. I always like to walk around and admire the perfection of the yard after just cutting all the raggedy growth. I filled the two birdbaths and this one caught my eye as well as that section of sky on its mirror surface…
