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.

“Creek Sunset”,, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Just as yesterday’s painting was an opportunity to capture a fleeting moment, so was today’s. I came upon both scenes right as the sun set, grabbed my tools and painted into the darkness, trying to catch both the sky’s afterglow and the accompanying reflections on the surface of the water…
“After Hours”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This is a location I have visited over and over in the day time trying to pull a painting out of. Really, all it took was to arrive at mosquito feeding time to see the mantle of the evening’s light clothe the seascape in queenly splendor…
“Tide’s Out”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US

“Full Sail, W. Chop”, this is a Medium painting, 16″x 20″ oil on canvas, unframed. This painting has SOLD.
This is a larger version of the of the West Chop Lighthouse, from a slightly different perspective than yesterdays’ painting. Sometimes I like to paint this view with both Coast Guard houses in it and other times with just one. On this particular day I lucked out with an actual appearance of the classic schooner, “Shenandoah”…
