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.

“Split Rock”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This painting was a request from a few weeks ago. The wind and weather had conspired against me until today with wind coming from the South, but rain possible at any moment. I tried out my painter friend’s new Open Box M easel and tripod in a waterproof box in a waterproof backpack. It turned out to be a very enjoyable mile hike to and down the beach to get the view I liked. The borrowed gear was very comfortable. I could have hiked farther with ease and will again soon…
“Nomans from Allen Farm”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This is a view I anticipated was actually there, but wouldn’t know for sure without walking out to the high point of the field. The clouds had been looking ominous for over an hour when I chose to go out. There appeared to be canyons between the cloud banks and setting sunlight was piercing through creating wondrous bands of color… The windchill was wicked and I had to stop in the middle and run back to the car for my gloves!
