Busy summer

I started a painting of Commercial St. in the middle of town this morning. I haven't kept track of the number of paintings that I have done since the beginning of June, but I have been productive. I'll try to publish photos soon.

Happily in P-town

I arrived late Thursday and took a few days to get settled. I started two paintings this morning and am looking forward to get more going soon.

Due to the recent death of my mother I have not had time to paint.

She was a wonderful woman and a great painter and she will be missed.

Studio open house

I want to thank all of those who made it to my studio open house. A good time was had by all.

Open Studio During Troy Night Out

I will be having an open studio on Friday March 27 from 5-9 during Troy Night Out. My studio is located on the 4th floor of the Ilium Building at 406 Fulton St. in Troy, across the street from Shalimar. The entrance to the building is next to the Fulton St. Gallery.

I will have new work on display created since my last Open Studio in January, and I will also have a selection of "recession priced" work on hand.

All are welcome.

Green Island Bridge, Troy

I like to walk from my studio to the river on nice days. The Cluett Peabody building, with the red chimney in the background, is a favorite subject.

Flatbeds

I have a few more in the Urban/Highway series that I am planning, and then I may turn my attention to something else for a while. It is almost warm enough to paint outside again.

More Night and Urban Paintings

I think of this as a sort of still life.


Dumpsters 30x40 Oil


I had a hard time getting a good photo of this because of the glare.

Night and Day

I started this as a demo at the Arts Exclusive Gallery

And here is another from my ongoing love affair with Provincetown at low tide.

Still Wet, In Progress

I have a little more work that I want to do on this, but it is pretty much done.

The Blue Ocean Oil 24x26

This is a dune near Pilgrim Lake, Beach Point and Provincetown are in the backgound. The dead grass and roots in the morning light are astonishingly warm colored. Watch out for poison ivy!

Thinking about summer is a good way to beat those SAD blues.




Morning, East End Oil 12x24

Venice at Night

I sure did enjoy my trip to Venice. Can't wait to go back. Anybody care to join me?

Leaving Saratoga

Leaving Saratoga Oil 9x12

Getting to my studio as often as possible keeps me (relatively) sane during January. These two are still wet.

Afternoon, East End Oil 5x7

Approaching the D&H Oil 10x15

The titles are what I call "working titles." I'm not sure that I will use these titles when I finally frame the paintings and put them in galleries, but they are descriptive enough that it helps me keep track.
