PictureThe Docent, 18x24, Oil, 2026.
A docent was giving a talk at the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia when I was visiting several years ago.  I thought the light was exquisite and the juxtaposition of the figures in the paintings and the attendees was intriguing. I thought about this scene for a long time before I painted it. It took a long time, and I worked slowly. It is a nod to the old masters that line the walls.
PictureNocturnal Moon, 24x18, Oil, 2026.
I used to live on Canandaigua Lake in Western New York and always loved the way the moon played ver the water. This is a painting from the western shore looking east to Bare Mountain.
PictureBoys in the Boat, 16x12, Oil, 2025.
This is a painting of two great-nephews. The brothers were enjoying the boat ride, although the younger was rather apprehensive. The greens and oranges appealed to me, as did the composition of this scene.

 PictureBig Sky at Sunset, 16x20, Oil, 2025.
I snapped a number of photos while driving at sunset along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I'm not really sure where this actually is, but the sky was amazing showing off the hazy blue mountains in the background.
