New Work

This section features my newest paintings. I work with a limited palette consisting of primary colors plus titanium white on a toned ground. Different paintings require different combinations of primary colors, depending upon the time of year, time of day, subject matter, and so on. The limited palette gives the painting a unified look, as well as mellowing the bright acrylic colors.

Intimate Views

As a change of pace from my small and miniature landscapes, I sometimes go to the opposite extreme and zero in on a subject, such as a flower (or even just a section of it). For these pieces, I often use colored pencil on Pastelbord™ and generally work in a larger 8”x10” format.

Landscapes

For the past several years, most of my paintings have featured New England landscapes. New England has many beautiful spots, and I take my camera (aka my sketchbook) wherever I go, so that I won’t miss any scene that might make a good painting. Just as an artist does with a sketchbook, when I look through the camera’s viewfinder, I am composing my painting, although I do sometimes crop the photo or combine several into a panoramic format to make a more interesting painting, in the same way an artist using a sketchbook may try several different ideas.

Lighthouses & Seascapes

For a number of years, most of my paintings were of lighthouses that I had visited in New England and Canada’s Maritime Provinces, as well as on Long Island. A few of my favorites are displayed in this section.
