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.

“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 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…
“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…
“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…
“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…
“Toward the Light”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Another drismal day from rain to fog to falling mist. I waited out the mist while sitting in my van watching the weather radar start to clear. At the last possible moment, gathering up my gear, I hiked down from a few hundred feet above sea level to zero. With a fisherman’s sweater, parka and snow-pants, I was way overdressed for the hike down and had to peel off layers when I set up top of a large, 6 foot high boulder. It was flat calm, no air moving. I simmered in my remaining clothes as I frantically used up the 40 minutes until dark balancing my colors. The walk back up hill was swift and strenuous in the dark, raising my boots higher than normal upon each step so as not to trip on the now unseen rocks in the path…
“Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This was a difficult day. The fog was overbearing. Obvious subjects were not visible. I found a hopeful location, but wandered about aimlessly until I came back to my starting point…
