January 6th – 10th, 2015 Penny (nfs) Oil on Canvasboard, 16 x 20 in This has been a fairly rough year so far – the most recent blow was the rather sudden demise of my beloved cat Penny. Her name is short for Pentecost, which I named her because she was all grey and black…

July 9th, 2014 PM St Peter’s Square, Gloucester MA Oil on Canvas, 12 x 16 in (sold) Already feeling more like myself in this one, though everything is not strictly perfect, I like the way this one turned out.
July 9th, 2014 AM St. Peter’s Square, Gloucester MA Oil on Canvas, 12 x 16 in (sold) I ought to retake this photo in milder light – this was middday and the shadows from the texture along with the glare do it no favors – but don’t really lie, either. This was the first morning…

February 8th, 2014 Cox Reservation, Essex MA Oil on canvasboard, 16 x 20 in (sold) This was taken from a distance, obviously. Your eyes get tired quickly from staring at snow a long time, even if you carefully chose a predominantly shady vista. There was so much reflected light bouncing around towards the end of…
November 6th & 7th, 2013 Between two fronts Oil on Canvas, 24 x 36 in Technically, this is not a plein air, as I painted it indoors with reference to a photo, and memory of the day this summer it was taken – on Lake of the Woods. The foreground is volcanic rock. So as…
September 3rd, 2013 Cox Reservation, Essex Greenbelt, Essex MA Oil on Canvas, 12 x 16 in (sold) My spot this time was predicated on the painting that was being done of me as I painted. The colors at the marsh this time of year are surreal, and lovely.
