 "Curious Deer"


Did a painting of a deer I photographed in Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA one morning when I was taking a short hike. The deer was kind enough to stay there while I patiently put my zoom lens on my camera. After a couple shots he took off. I added a lot of broken color for an impressionistic effect. Thanks for visiting!

"Autumn Sunshine"


A beautiful colorful scene in the Fall of an old horse pasture in my home town. I really love how the trees are so varied and laid out in a certain way. Very appealing to me. The sky has a lot going for it too with all the colors, values and blustery look. Thanks for visiting!

"Morning Stroll"


This is my second painting I ever painted. It got some applause at a critique in an art group I belonged to. The colors were so beautiful that year in the Fall. I sold it to a friend who donated it to a small, local library. Thanks for visiting!

 "Lake Sunapee"


This was a commission for a friend. We hiked up the ski trail in Summer and I snapped some photos of what she wanted. Then when it came time to start the commission she wanted me to use several photos in a composite! I worked it out but when I finished she thought the lake would be larger. She was satisfied anyway. It was to be a wedding gift to her daughter out west. This is an earlier piece so I was still learning a lot.  I wanted to punch up the color and make sure the distant mountains looked misty and far away. I think I accomplished that. Thanks for visiting!

"Canada Winter"


A winter scene in Canada. This is near a camp and was taken near dusk. I used artistic license to improve the colors in the sky and really make the birch trees stand out. Thanks for visiting!
