From the Stone Harbor Causeway last month. I went back in a few days ago and altered a few things with this. My goal is for better paintings. Slowly I've let go of my need to depict the landscape exactly as I see it. Impression: Sunrise :) 8x10
A scene from Patterson NJ. A friend took me up there last spring to show me this wonderful place. The second largest waterfalls on the East Coast! This has been so much fun to paint! 36x24
This beautiful sailboat really did cruise by when I did this 5x7. I painted it in first before it was gone, then filled in the rest I knew it might look staged, but who could resist!?
Three days of painting down in Cape May County. Stunning views and flawless weather for the Wings n Water Festival. It's been great painting along with some of the best plein air painters in New Jersey!
11x14 This painting kicks off 4 days of plein air painting for the Wings 'n Water Festival in Stone Harbor this weekend. It's a bit reflecty, photo taken while still on the beach!
The gnats showed up in full force as this painting drew to an end. I had on repellent thank goodness. I'll brush the little buggers off once the painting has dried. 8x10
I've painted on the side all my life. In 2005 I started painting full time. Starting with the trompe L'oeil series "Scatter Paintings" and small "Daily" paintings. In 2007 I made an about turn to plein air work and Landscape painting...a subject and style that still keeps me captivated 12 years later. This internet diary keeps track of my progress.
