Touching Water

I recently went through my old photo collection and came across one of my son when he was little. It brought back many happy memories of all the times we spent at the beach. I was inspired to do this little painting.

Still Life with Golden Vase

I find great joy in painting colorful still lifes in the wintertime. This was done from a photo that I took a year ago. Whenever I receive flowers I quickly set up a still life and photograph it so that I have many warm, floral scenes to work with in the dead of winter. This is a very small painting but it packs a lot of punch!

Path to the Sea

This is a favorite little painting that was done very quickly with a large brush to keep the energy going. It is a scene from Kittery Point, Maine at Fort Foster. That is a great place to paint because of the beautiful rocks and winding little paths along the shore.

A Pile of Pumpkins

I was at the local Agway Store to buy dog food and I saw their latest display of fall flowers and pumpkins. I could not resist this exercise in painting multiples. Out came my camera and I ended up doing several paintings. This is the first one.

Path to the Cove

This was a fun painting to do! I was experimenting with a new textured linen canvas glued to a birchwood board that my artist friend Stan Moeller gave me to play with. Trying out new surfaces is an excellent way to keep the creative juices flowing.

Vine Tomatoes

I saw these tomatoes when I was buying food at the market and I just had to paint them! I get excited whenever I have an excuse to use bold, bright reds in a painting. I also love to paint shadows and these were just to lovely to resist!

Three Acorns

I needed to get a study done and I was at a loss as to what to paint. While walking my dog in my field, I could feel the crunch of acorns under my feet. There seems to be more of them than ever this year. This was my answer. Here is the result.
