"Waterfall" 14 x 18"
oils on canvas
Award winning painting!
This painting in the open air was so invigorating, I was overwhelmed
with the sounds of this waterfall and excited about the movement.
This is what it's all about! This painting is available at the Northshore Art Assn. fourth summer exhibit going on now in Gloucester. The NSAA is celebrating 90 years of fine art and the artists that have gone before us. Continuing the tradition are artists today who pack their gear and head for parts unknown. The inspiration then sparks the imagination and passion that artists have enjoyed for all time.
Update, the above painting is sold
"Biddeford Pool"
done on location in Biddeford ME another invigorating painting
keeping up with the tide and the feeling I was inspired by.
The colors and mood were other inspiration. This was a weekend
that I shared with other artists as we stayed in a retreat center
and were there just to paint and interact with each other at the end of the day.
It is available for sale
"Lily Pond"
12 x 16 is a nearby location that has inspired me each

What prompted me to paint this little corner was the
dancing shadows on the brick walk and the fence and architecture and
the bold contrasts. The composition which the sun's light

The second most rewarding accomplishment is finding a home for

the sense of place, a successful composition and a feeling like no other!
This is a winter painting but warm none the less. "Ocean Views"
oils on linen 16 x 20" encompasses the view from some very original
cottages which are a view themselves. I was particularly enamored

lively and inviting painting. It is available for someone's home. Enjoy!
"Edgartown Blues" is unlike any seaside village
quintessential blue hydrangea painting. There's not many flowers here but still they
take center stage. A warm and inviting painting that I just want to

it is available.
"Nantucket Colors" oils on linen 16 x 20" is looking for a place
to call home with someone who loves it.
The dappled light I enthusiastically painted on location
as with all the paintings in this collection.
The traditional colors, the way you can meander up the street across
flagstone and brick and hear the clackity clack of vehicles on the cobblestone
nearby and you can't help but think of yesteryear when it was horse
shoes and wagons that had been passing by. Juried into the
Rockport Art Assn.
"Brick Row" oils on linen done on location on Nantucket Massachusetts.
The dappled light was challenging and inspirational and the colors
of the brick made this canvas come alive with warmth, history and charm.

Charming villages grace New England whether you're by the sea
or in a small town. The character is from one generation
to another sprucing up and making it new and exciting!
"Dockside Whimsy"
I just thought I'd toss this painting into this section
of my portfolio because it makes me smile.
I did it in the winter in Oak Bluffs MA
and I learned that this particular boat had many lives, once it was a sailing vessel,
here it is a combination, kind of like the house that Jack built.
I get a kick out of imagining the characters who have sailed it and
repurposed it over time.
Let me introduce you below to my latest series
this a sampler of how
the collection is coming about
"Old Farm Truck"
now being shown at Arts of Tolland
Tolland CT
"A Ford of Many Colors" two time award winning painting 20 x 20"
(on gallery wrapped canvas) and included
in the Sept 2013 issue of Plein Air magazine...
is looking for a guy's room, or a den, a burger joint or a contemporary, transitional
couple's living room. You have to appreciate that these old
cars will never come this way again. They were classic when made,
and characteristic of a new wave of transportation. They have
romanticized a simpler time.
"Antique in the Pines" oils on 24 x 24 gallery wrapped canvas is an award
winning painting at the Northshore Art Assn. in Gloucester now in it's 91st year.
Today it is a national association. I found this old International
in Berlin MA which inspired the collection's nickname,
Car Heaven which is really a business with really cool cars at it.
"1927 Custom International" oils on canvas 20 x 20"
is looking for an appreciator. This remained my favorite new
painting until I did the next one and the next one of these old cars.
"Hound Dog Dodge" has got to be my favorite of my old car series
because she reminds me of my old basset beagle that lived for 18 years.
The nose up in the air got me immediately when I found her in the woods.
If she finds a home with you it will be bittersweet but that's why I paint
for myself first and ultimately for you. This painting was juried into
last spring's Academic Artist Exhibition a national venue.
"Pals" has been shown only once, juried into the opening of the 90th
year exhibition at Gloucester. It is 18 x 24" and for sale. Kind of whimsical
don't you think? Each of the collection of old cars have only been
around a short while so they haven't been introduced to their new owners.
A newcomer to the group is to be seen soon.
Boats are what inspired my love for painting character and which lead
me to begin painting the car collection you previously saw, I painted this view
on location in two mornings! Yep with all the rigging and complications.
I am so pleased with it and it is for sale. It is the "Amastat" a replica that
the crew teaches young people each summer the art of sailing.
Interesting note is that the bible from the "Amastat" was
used by our MA governor to swear into office in 2008.

is 16 x 20 and available. I still smell the fried clams in the air

If you've ever been to Menemsha it is a casual gem on the northwestern
part of the island. At sunset the visitors to the ocean, some with wine
and some with their to go dinner applaud the sunset!
I have a sister painting to this one that I will reveal soon.

for "Two Friends" is history, it was being dismantled this day and the next
Upon returning to complete it there was evidence of a fire which
