Here is a 9x12-inch acrylic painting done in October 2019 on a Greek island near Turkey.  I painted from a path leading to a chapel, which is behind the viewer.  A kind girl visiting the chapel brought me a bottle of water to drink.
The left hand gate leads down to the road which is out of sight.  The road winds by the white buildings.  The jumble of stuff in the middle ground is really an old cottage in ruins.  It was a pile of old ladders, concrete and stone walls with wooden palettes on end.

This is a watercolor I did last summer.  It was for a client and I used a photo for reference.  I really enjoyed working on the greenery because, while it was all green, there were so many subtle differences.

Three 12x16 house portraits are done.  The first is a clapboard beach house, the second is a Colonial style, and the third is a Tudor style.

This 12x9 oil painting is of the local Town Beach.  It was fairly quiet each day after summer camp was over.  The view across the water shows a swimming raft and the distant waterfront houses. The second photograph shows the actual beach and the painting in progress.

Pilot Grove Farm is a stunning subject, with evocative buildings, waving grass, and peaceful, freely roaming animals.
