Fish Shack, Motif No. 1, Rockport, Massachusetts
This little scene is the iconic Motif No. 1 on Bradley Wharf in Rockport. It really needs no introduction. Its been painted by thousands of artists and holds the distinction of being the most photographed building in the world (so I am told). We visited Rockport in May after my daughter graduated from Tufts. I…

Mount Etna, View of Taormina, Sicily
We took the bus ride to the Town of Taormina to see a Roman Ampitheater and numerous other historical building sites. The town was preparing for a film festival when we arrived. A view of a portion of the town with Mt Etna in the distance was just down a short trail. It was a…

Up On the Roof, Venice
In the summer of 2024 we stayed in Venice two days before we set out on a cruise ship for a week to several destinations in the Adriatic and Mediterranean. This was the view out our hotel window. I decided to paint it because of the color contrast of the yellows, greens, reds and the…

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…

Morning Light
Capturing an awesome sunrise with the intense colors and shadows in the early morning can be breathtaking. This sunrise was remarkable. I took many photos and spent twenty minutes or longer just watching the light as the sun rose on a frigid cold January 23, 2024. The view is from a park on top of…
