High Noon

It has been an incredible summer in New England. Clear blue skies and bright sun. I love the way the dappled light hits the white clapboards of a typical New England structure. This happens to be a barn that I paint often. This is a small study. I think it will make a nice larger piece.

Memorial Day - For God and Country

I do not consider myself a portrait painter. Capturing every detail of the subjects face, flawlessly, is not my intent. Rather, I would hope to capture the essence of the subject. I am working on a collection called "A Thousand Stories". It is what is behind the face that interests me. The stories they could tell.

Sunset Mosaic

I am most comfortable painting with a more subdued pallette. It seems,of late, that I am constantly pushing myself out of my "comfort zone". I hesitate to paint sunsets, it just doesn't seem that its possible to capture the beautiful light without making it look contrived. But here it is........contrived or not it was fun.
