Tons of daffodils popping up in the yard so I had to sacrifice one for a quick portrait

Sunflowers

I use mostly a square format in my paintings, although sometimes it's nice, and more fitting really, to use a traditional rectangular canvas to make for a better compostion.

Day at the Beach

10 x 10 inch, oil on stretched canvas 3/4" thick

Available in online Etsy Gallery

A few more months until summer and we'll be hitting the beach ourselves!

Tropic Dawn

Well, here's the final glazing of this 6x6inch tropical landscape. Sometimes I like taking my time in building up the transparent tinted glazes, resulting with a nice glow at the end.

2nd pass of glazing...

I've just finished a second pass of glazing on this tropical sunrise. 2 or 3 more should do it!

Work in progress....

18"x18", oil on stretched canvas

Here's a first pass on a table top still life. I've still got a bit of work to do on the fabric, the apples, the flowers....everything really.

Simple apple portrait today, more to come.

Everglades Underpainting

Everglades underpainting, 6x6inch

I've decided to attempt a slower approach on my next Everglades painting. I'll start with an underpainting and then slowly build up the colors through multi layers of glazing, hopefully ending with a dramatic result

I'm still working through some photos from our last trip to the Everglades. I'll do a few more and then move on to another subject.

Everglades

Everglades Vista

5x7 inch, oil on panel
sold

Although this was painted from a photo from our trip to the Everglades last November, it seems as though it could be from any marsh here in New England. I'll try adding a palm tree in the next one....

Snowbound...

I just finished 4 of these small paintings for a collector that's getting together for a girls' weekend with 3 of her close friends. Being housebound yesterday with the kids, due to 18" of snow, it helped the soul working on a tropical painting. I've got to find my photos from our last everglades trip and try a few more.

Here's one of my favorite everglades painters, Jo-Ann Sanborn

Winter Dreaming

Yesterday I received a request to make a similair painting to my Winter Dreaming, but smaller. Last week I received a request for a copy of the same painting, but with 4 friends sitting on the beach looking out at sea..........along with 3 additional copies, one for each friend of the buyer. I guess it must mean that winter has set in since the palm on the beach is so popular!

New Frames!

A few weeks ago I ordered some frames from Kingofframe.com, trying to find something that would be more suitable for some of my darker, moodier pieces. I'm really pleased with how this frame has pumped up the volume on this one. This painting will be going off to auction to benefit the Cultural Arts Alliance, which is right here in Hopkinton, MA.
