Apple Orchard
Pastoral scene of an apple orchard and farm in northwestern Massachusetts. I tried to capture the light and feeling of being on a farm in the fall. The apples had fallen and the sheep were resting amoung the old apples trees. It reminds me of when I would visit my grandparents farm in the summertime…

Return to Capri, Italy
During our summer vacation we were able to visit Capri for the second time. We took a tour from our ship to the island. A bus took us to Ana Capri and after wandering around we returned to Capri on the funicular. This painting came from a photo I took on the way down on…

Summer Afternoon View of Perast, Montenegro
A very picturesque view of the Town from a boat on the Bay with the mountains as a backdrop. It was a very hot summer day and the cool breeze from the water made it much more comfortable as we strolled along the street and listened to music from the shops and restaurants. There was…

Boats Along a Dock Near Spilt, Croatia
I enjoyed a recent summer vacation when we traveled to the Adriatic and visited Split, Croatia as well as several other stops along the way. This is a view of some of the boats along a dock outside of Split. Split is a beautiful coastal City with many historical buildings. Diocletians Palace has been placed…

Perkins Cove, Ogunquit
After a recent trip to the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit we stopped at Perkins Cove for some lunch. I was a beautiful clear day and there were several boats on the water. I took a few reference photos and did this painting on panel in the studio. Here are a couple stages in the painting…

The King of Flowers
Ten thousand sunflower paintings. That’s probably an understatement. I was going to name this “Not Vincent” but thought it was to cliched and never intended to make it look like his work. Its hard not to think about his iconic offerings when you paint sunflowers. Maybe its a right of passage- I don’t know. The…

Evening Impression of Cinque Terre
A painting of Cinque Terre approaching evening. This image is a simplified impression of one of the five villages along the Italian coast. I simplified the houses and didn’t pay much attention to perspective. I focused on color and a stylized image. I wasn’t thinking of Fauvism when I painted it but it is the…

The Clark Art Institute Reflecting Pool
The Clark Art Institute has some elegant architecture and is a gem in Western Massachusetts. I have visited it several times. There was a world class exhibit of Van Gogh paintings there several years ago. I think it was in 2015. I have been to many, international museums and exhibitions but the “Van Gogh and…

Poppies Along the Road
I saw these poppies last summer growing along the roadside on a warm summer day in June. They are not my favorite flower but the light reflecting from them was beautiful. I wasnt able to capture the light exactly as I had imagined. Its been 30 years since I’ve completed an oil painting of flowers.…

Hay Field in Moonlight
I chose to do a painting on a moonlit night with subdued colors to contrast with the vibrant colors I’ve used in some recent sunrise paintings. I’ve used this field with hay bales in another stylized painting in daylight. These types of bales are prevalent in the Northeast and Midwest. My sister had a boyfreind…
