• Morning of Mists

  Oil, Panel, 12 x 24. Painted from a photo I took on the bay near Freeport Maine: I was drawn to the shapes of the trees against the morning mist, and the harmony of the shades of green and grey. Painted in in oils on pa…

• After Thomas Crotty

  Oil, Panel, 12 x 12. This is titled such because my intention was to pay homage to the late 20th century (early 21st century) Maine landscape painter, Thomas Crotty, who I never met but whose work I saw in a retrospecti…

• Mill Pond in Spring

  Oil, Panel, 16 x 16. There's something so heavenly about the bright greens of mid-to-late spring when the trees are newly leafed-out. My goal with this work was to capture that particularly magical moment in spring. I f…

• Tree Pollen On The Pond1

  Oil, Panel, 16 x 20. I shot the photograph which served as a reference for this painting one day in early May. There are a few weeks in North America when bright yellow or bright green pollen rains down from the trees,…

• The Passing Storm

  Oil, Panel, 18 x 14. I was so drawn to the color of the sea as it reflected, and transformed, the colors of the passing clouds and the sunlight breaking through. That peach along the horizon as the rain moved north, and…

  Oil, Canvas, 24 x 36 x 1.5. What drew me to want to paint this scene was the pink glow of the morning light (from high overcast clouds), and the soft gray and grayish-magenta shades in the now-bare trees, and how that c…

• Summer Crosslots

  Oil, Aluminum, 14 x 18. My fascination with this scene begins with the high contrast between the light that's landing in the middle ground and the dark trunks of trees and the deep dark of the background woods, although…

• Spring Crosslots

  Oil, Panel, 12 x 24. The white blooms on the other side of the stonewall are a bank of blooming dogwoods, mostly white, but a few pinks sprinkled here and there. I painted this scene in the studio based on photographic…

• Winter Crosslots

  Oil, Aluminum, 12 x 16. A late January snowstorm led me to wander through this nature preserve with my camera. This painting was done in my studio from one of the dozens of images I shot that day. The sky was truly a co…
