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.

“Pond Pram”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I seem to be stuck on boats, or at least the colors of boats. This one appeared where there hadn’t been one last week.

“Nantucket Lightship”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Now this boat stopped me in my tracks! Freshly painted, the old Nanatucket Lightship under private ownership drew people to it as I stood and painted. This much red in the close quarters of the harbor in this light was almost too much…
“Lagoon Landing”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I gave up on finding a spot to paint today. It was getting late and nothing was clicking wherever I drove, but the clock was ticking… Last month I painted everyday but 4. I could take a break if I wanted to. I went into the town landing to turn around and go home, but there was this boat…
“Dune Light”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
An hour before the sunset of a most rainy day, the clouds parted on the western horizon and the sun came out. It lasted long enough for me to find this dune and paint the yellow light on the sand before it went down behind a heavy cloud bank and finally set. Considering how wet the day had been, this was my gift to paint…
