New Watercolor Painting – Early Winter Landscape
“Light Dusting”
10″ x 14″
$395
This scene could depict either the early time of winter when light snows begin to cover the fields, or late winter when the snow cover is receding. The title gives a hint that it is early winter and in fact that time of year is the inspiration. Unlike most of my work, [...]
“Rural Route” – watercolor landscape painting
“Rural Route”
5″ x 22″
This watercolor painting is unusual in several ways. It began as a warm up excercise using an oddly shaped leftover piece of watercolor paper and leftover paint from the mixing areas of my studio palette. Using a single brush for the entire painting – one of my favorite 1″ flats (Winsor Newton [...]
“Farmyard” – New Watercolor Landscape Painting
“Farmyard”
9″ x 13″
$325
This is one of what I often describe as one of my “drive by” paintings. Most of my paintings are the result of series of sketches and studies that culminate in a so-called finished painting. Sketches completed on location are usually the starting point in this process, and I very much enjoy the [...]
“Uphill Farm” – New Watercolor Painting
“Uphill Farm“
9″ x 13″
$325
All of the recent snow has made begin to think of days when there is no snow on the ground. This work is the end result of a series of on site and exploratory sketches – the whole process is described on my artists’ blog. The work depicts bright sunshine and surprisingly [...]
“October Leftovers” – New Autumn Painting
“October Leftovers”
10″ x 14″
$425
Another painting of the autumn season. The look of moving water reflecting the colors of the environment around it has become a new inspiration for my work recently. Like “Late Autumn – White Creek“, this painting features a stream and its banks, along with the trunks of the trees near the ground. [...]
New Painting Depicting Autumn
“Late Autumn – White Creek“
11″ x 15″
Private Collection
The change of season from summer to fall to winter is rapid and dramatic from late September through late October. I have several works that explore this theme currently underway. This is the first of the works to be completed. More to come.
New Autumn Landscape
“Golden Afternoon”
11″ x 15″
$425
This painting began as a way to experiment with a new color, Daniel Smith’s Quinacridone Deep Gold. My palette doesn’t change much in that I generally stick with colors and brands that I am used to, this one caught my eye while browsing the Daniel Smith catalog. Once the paint arrived, I [...]
Cape Ann, Massachusetts
“Cape Ann Walk”
9 x 13
$350
This work began as a demo for my Cape Ann Workshop, which took place June 22 – 25, 2009. Unlike most of my work, this one began using a reference photo taken by one of the students. The photo depicted a gray, rainy day on which a few brave souls decided [...]
New Work – Thinking of Summer
Officially out of winter mode – my latest work is pictured below. This work was inspired by a few things; a simple demo for one of my classes on creating rather than using tube grays, making plans for a summer class at the coast, and a simple sketch found in one of my sketchbooks.
”Sunrise”
9″ x [...]
The End of Winter
This is my last winter painting for the year. This one, titled “Late Winter”, is from a real location near White Creek, NY and was drawn in a sketchbook some years ago. The painting is imbued with the feeling of late winter. Generally, March is the time when fields begin to emerge from under the [...]
New Work – The light of November
”Early November”
A depiction of the light of early November on the leafless and wizend tree. Trees, particularly weathered old trees are always inspiring to me. This work is based on sketches of another tree sketched and painted on location in Boston. For more information on the process of painting this tree, see my artists blog.

New Work, Designing Winter
“Farm In Winter”
9″ x 12″
Don’t get the wrong impression, I am not pining for winter. Although I am not a winter sort of guy - I exist mostly indoors with a mug of hot tea not far away from December to April – there are many things that I find very paintable in the winter [...]
Latest Painting – Rural Theme, Summer Season
“Afternoon Farm”
20″ x 28″
Private Collection
This painting is one of a series of works completed this summer (see “Along The Way“) that celebrate rural scenery, roads, farms & fields. Although I sometimes question the thought during the dreary days in January, February and March, I really am fortunate to live and work in such a [...]
New Work, Think Spring
March in Vermont is when you can begin to anticipate spring, although it is not guaranteed to arrive until May!. My Monday morning painting class is a group of ladies who are interested in subjects that are found in classical still life paintings – dishes, fruit, & flowers. Recently, we began painting a [...]
