On Livingston

This is a water­color I painted en Plein Air, while sit­ting on Liv­ingston St ‚on a gor­geous sunny autumn day. The col­or­ful Fall leaves were all around me.

Chowder Town

I poured 3 col­ors of paint, a Lian Zhen tech­nique, to make this paint­ing of a boat­ing town. I only used red, yel­low, and blue watercolor.

Tailor Shop

This is a paint­ing close to my heart, since I am also a Tai­lor by trade.

Spring House

Spring House is an oil paint­ing I did en Plein Air, on loca­tion. The strong shadow is what drew me in to this scene.

Jesse

Oil paint­ing of my won­der­ful and tal­ented son, Jesse.

Grand Canal

This paint­ing was done on loca­tion, as I sat by myself in a lit­tle out­door cafe in Venice, eat­ing pizza and enjoy­ing a glass of wine. I painted to my hearts con­tent, because in Italy they let you sit there all day, no one rushes you along.

Ed’s House

This is a paint­ing com­mis­sioned by a fam­ily. It was painted in mem­ory of Ed, a man who painstak­ingly and lov­ingly  spent his life restor­ing his family’s Vic­to­rian house.

Dreaming

Dream­ing was painted en Plein Air, on location.

Carennac

The bicy­cle caught my eye, so I stopped and sketched this scene in pen and ink, then lay­ered on water­color. I painted it on loca­tion in France on a cob­ble stone street.

A Stones Throw

Plein Air, on loca­tion, water­color. Painted while I sat in a glo­ri­ous gar­den on a beau­ti­ful spring morning.
