Another cloudy, next sunny, then very cloudy day. I found this spot to get out of the east wind and paint until I couldn’t see in the evening light…

“Distant Storm” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Finally, it was a sunny day today. But with too many outdoor projects to do, I caught the tale end of the sun. Would you believe it started to rain again as I walked off the beach and got to my car!!!…
“More Fogging In” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Another day, another fog, what can I say? I started this piece and the fog was receeding. An hour later, I could barely see the second rock…
“Rough Seas” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
The seas pile up on a cool rainy day. The east winds and rising tide create a chop just off the beach. Too much air and too much tide are not good for kite surfing or surf boarding or fishing. And the rain deters any walking, dog or otherwise. Just a duck down day…
“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!… .
“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…

“Last Night”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This is quite possibly my last Martha’s Vineyard painting as I will be packing and on the road for Texas from now until New Years. I may attempt a painting along the way, but sometimes the van has a mind of its own and just wants to get there quickly…

“Early October”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This was painted before sunrise on an early, hazy day in October. I could never decide if it was finished or not. Last night I added a few flourishes and now it is complete… Sometimes it is good to let a painting sit for a contemplative period to better understand what was done and perhaps why…. Often times the question or problem I thought I was grappling with becomes resolved in working on the next few paintings. And the knowledge is now there to complete the earlier piece….

“Lighthouse, Boat Ramp”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
I didn’t know what I would find when I drove out to Eel Pond, view or wind wise. The sun was near setting and was illuminating and reflecting off of the Chappaquidick Lighthouse on the Eastern horizon. Light was reflected back to contrast against a low lying cloud bank such that the lighthouse was literally full of light…

“Tomahawk, Hi & Dry”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
The Tomahawk is one of the last of the fleet of charter fishing boats to be hauled out for the winter. Captain Buddy Vanderhoop works the waters as long and hard as he can while the game fish are still out of hibernation and catchable. His vessel must have just been hauled out. The rich black of the hull contrasted fiercely witht the subtle, soft, winter seaside colors all around it. The Tomahawk was a painting in my mind the instant my eyes came upon her. Work had to proceeed from inside my van as the wind and rain left me no quarter in which to hide…
