Frequent visits to St. Michael's MD produced several landscapes, including this view.

This is based on a photograph taken of Byron Bay Beach in Australia.

These peonies caught my eye on the cover of a catalogue. As I often do, I tore off the page and stashed it in a wicker basket of other such ideas for paintings. I had just started to paint with oils again, after a bad experience with fumes from turpentine. I decided to use this picture to start my journey with oils and I’m now hooked! I never realized just how many shades of white were needed to give these wonderful flowers the depth they deserved. Oil painting. 24X24.

Over the years, I have taken many landscape classes at Silvermine Art Guild with David Dunlop, and more recently, with William McCarthy. This was my second painting while working with Will. He is such a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to his students. He literally paints from memory and a few thumbnail sketches. The technique involves using Liquin and only large brushes from the hardware store!

This oil painting can be seen in the home of Helen and Muscie Garnett in Richmond, VA.  Say "hi" to Lola for me.

My friends the Rawls (yes, the parents of Grits) have a wonderful old home in Cornwall, CT. This barn on their property house a small dairy along with Waite’s tractor!

This was my first oil painting while studying with William McCarthy. The technique plays well to my use of color and contrast. I want to go there, but the place came from my imagination. I'll pack my bags now!

Painted in oil. 18X24.

If you have ever been to Watch Hill, RI, you have seen the Ocean House hotel. The property is up on a hill overlooking the ocean and dunes. Recently the land was converted into condos, a smaller hotel and retail, so I'm happy to have this painting to remember "the way things were."

This small landscape was painted at Waveny in New Canaan, CT.

Another scene from my Watch Hill days. This is of Avondale, an area outside of Westerly, CT and Watch Hill, RI.

This wonderful seascape was actually inspired by a photo of Tasmania, taken by Rick and Kat. They were surfing in Tasmania en route to their new home in Brisbane.

Oil on board. 18X24.

This is an oldie but goodie. When I first started painting flowers I did several large impressions. The background consists of colored tissue paper with a soft white glaze.
