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.

“Ever Changing View”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
When I was much younger, this path was a jeep track you could drive down on to park on the beach. If I venture much past the front of the beach shack now, I would drop 10 feet onto the sand below. Despite the massive erosion, it is still a very memorable view looking out towards Squibnocket…

“Home from Cuttyhunk”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I was not scouting for a particular view when I started out today. In my van by this beach path watching terns dive for their dinner, I wondered if the fishing would be good. Opening the tail gate to grab my fishing rod, I got my paints out instead. As I began painting, every 15 or 20 minutes another sailboat would come through the passage between the far islands and pose for me…

“Up The Dune”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
Spotting this thundercloud while driving from east to west, or as we would say, going up-island, I tried to imagine a fun foreground to paint with the impending storm beyond it. A half hour later found me here in the dunes. As this was earlier in the day than I am use to painting, I was unsure of the shadows I would find. A cone shaped dune gave me no complaints in that department…
“South Beach to Squibby”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Except for the clouds, it was a calm gentle evening. The sunset did not amount to much, but this southeasterly view caught all the subtle colors…
“Kayak Launch”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
In summer, if it’s really hot, I’ll take an evening swim here. In winter it is a nice viewing spot to watch the sun set just beyond the point. It’s always great to paint here…
