Raindrops, 12 x 12, Oil, 2021.

This painting was made for the Williamsburg Contemporary Art Center's Photo to Brush show. It is an interpretation of a photo by Dave Coleman titled Flower 2.

Peaceful Beach, 12 x 12, Oil, 2021.

I finally managed to get up North again and was inspired to try some new ocean scenes, and some new techniques. I have more time to paint now that I've retired.

Square Wave, 8 x 8, Oil. 2021.

I painted most of this small study in one session, then came back to add some highlights. I'm trying to loosen up and paint more quickly and fluidly. I may paint this in a large format some day.

Misty Forest, 16 x 16, Oil, 2021.

I liked the soft blue light angling through the fall forest. It has a very gentle feeling and gives me a sense of peace.

Stream, 10 x 10, Oil, 2021.

I've always been fascinated by running water. This stream in Maine has beautiful rocks and the golden light was very beautiful on the flat sections. I found this very hard to paint, and may need to revisit this another day.

Dark Cliff, 12 x 16, Oil, 2021.

I've been missing northern California since the pandemic, and thinking about the stark beauty of the coast with its intense rock formations, churning water, and singular peacefulness.

November, 16 x 16, Oil, 2021.

I love fall colors. F
The palette is completely different at this time of year, but shades of summer remain in the understory. I like the way the late afternoon light filters through the trees.

Blue Diamonds, 12 x 16, Oil, 2021.

I've painted this scene several times. It seems to sum up my fondness for Northern California.

Paper Diamonds, 8 X 12, Watercolor & Japanese Paper, 2015/2021.

This is another version of the same scene. This one was created with watercolor and Japanese paper. It is free hanging with the paper edges showing.

Sonnenberg Pond, 8 x 10, Oil, 2021.

Sonnenberg Gardens is a park in Canandaigua, New York, where I used to live. It features a mansion from the Victorian era and its grounds. My family loves to visit when we are back in the Finger Lakes.

Maine Waterfall, 10 x 8, Oil, 2021.

Maine has many beautiful hikes with glorious waterfalls. I don't think I've finished this yet. I may need to start again.
