 Nocturnal Lake, 20 x 10, Oil, 2022.
I've spent countless nights gazing at Canandaigua Lake, a Finger Lake in Western New York. This view is from the Western side of the lake looking down at a small marina. Canandaigua Lake is one of the places I find myself returning to over time.
On display in the Stryker Center, Williamsburg, through October 28.  Aodhan & the Loons, 16 x 16, Oil, 2022.
Aodhan, my great nephew, lives in Northern Maine where he spends lots of time outdoors. I imagined him daydreaming as the loons swam together across the lake.

This dune at the Outer Banks looks simple, yet it was complicated to paint. with its subtle color changes and varying textures
 Beach near Montana, 24 x 18, Oil, 2022.
I've repainted this iconic scene several times, but think I will stop now! This is a beach near Montana just north of Half Moon Bay in Northern California. I loved the fog in the distance and the ice plant in bloom in the foreground. If you look closely you can see cars snaking around the cliffs on Highway 1.

 Break Time, 24 x 18, Oil, 2022.
I loved this photo of great nephew Tate. He is full of energy and is often in his own imaginary world. I think he may enjoy rolling in the grass just as much, or even maybe more than playing soccer.I liked the way his hair mirrored the lush grass.

The bright orange roofs and blue buildings appealed to me in this landscape at the Williamsburg Winery. It was fun to paint the complementary colors balanced by the horizontal vineyards in the foreground.

This is the third painting I've finished for the Williamsburg Winery show. I loved the primary colors in this sunrise, with the tractor in the distance heading off to inspect the vines.

I visited Naples, Italy many years ago and went on a tour underneath the city. It was fascinating, containing remnants and artifacts from Roman times to WWII. It was damp and darkly colorful with many shades of green and ochre.
