Impaired - SOLD

Thank you for your interest in my work.

In a Fog - SOLD


We had a day of rain here in the northeast resulting in a heavy fog. I was inspired by the understated tones, low contrast and limited visibility in the landscape. Value and shape play an important role in this painting.

Quiet Marsh


This painting was inspired by the New Jersey wetlands during a somewhat overcast day, late afternoon. I could remember the soft greens, blues and violets of the marshland under these conditions. It hasn't been too bad of a winter here in the northeast but while I was painting this scene I was sure looking forward to summer again.

M & M's - SOLD


This painting was first attempted in oil which turned out to be another lesson learned. Some subjects are better suited for acrylics and some are better suited for oils or pastels, watercolors or etc. Tip: Be sensitive to the subject matter and choose the medium that will best express the vision.

Mint Twist Lollipop - SOLD


This handmade mint flavored lollipop was just as much fun to paint as the last. The image has a bit of a “pop-art" feel do to the light playful background. I find that acrylic paint lends itself well to this type of work.

Fruit Tart - SOLD


Surprisingly, I found this painting to be quite challenging. After a couple restarts I’m happy with the final result. Unfortunately, this beautiful dessert was sitting under hot lighting for way too long during the painting process to be considered safe to eat afterwards.
