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.

“Up The Dune”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Spotting this thundercloud while driving from east to west, or as we would say, going up-island, I tried to imagine a fun foreground to paint with the impending storm beyond it. A half hour later found me here in the dunes. As this was earlier in the day than I am use to painting, I was unsure of the shadows I would find. A cone shaped dune gave me no complaints in that department…

I don’t know what I was expecting to find when I went out to paint here. I was intrigued by the stonewall first. I came back to look a second time and saw the raking shadows beyond. That was all I needed…
“Kayak Launch”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

This was painted the day before yesterday. I didn’t like the flat sunless light in which i created it. So I went back today. The sun came out and made all the difference…
“After The Hay”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
I painted 2 paintings the evening this field was baled into hay. The first was from about 100 feet away and posted here about 8 paintings ago. In this one the field breathes with its new freshly shorn look and the shadows rake neatly across it…
“Split Rock, East”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

“Eastville Sunset”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

“Farm Field”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
