Solomon's Island Bridge Plein Air

This is a small Plein Air study I did from the Pier Restaurant at Solomon's Island looking west to the sunset.  It finally dried enough to put it on the scanner.  It was a fun one and a bit of a challenge.  It came out decent for the time I had to get it down.

Drum Point Lighthouse Cupola

This is a block in for a nocturne (night time) oil painting of the Drum Point Lighthouse at Calvert County Maritime Museum.  The Drum Point Lighthouse was pulled off the its location and not resides at the museum.  This painting will need some highlights and some tweaks to complete but it is a great start.

Ocracoke Lighthouse

This is an oil painting of the Ocracoke Lighthouse on Ocracoke Island in North Carolina.  It is a smaller lighthouse near the small harbor on the island.  It is well worth the ferry ride to the island. Just don't go in summer as the crowds are bad.

Turkey Early

I have been working on this for a bit.  I am mostly done with this Turkey and it is almost ready for next week's Thanksgiving Day.

Michigan City Indiana Lighthouse

This is a large studio painting of the sunset at the Michigan City Indiana Lighthouse.  This is based off a photo, notes and the plein air sketch I did of the structure.  This is 90% done, I will probably make some small tweaks to this one, but it is done.

Plein Air - Skyline Drive

This is a Plein Air painting from a couple of weeks ago.  It has dried enough to scan it.  I struggled with getting the difference between the greens and the oranges of the changing foliage.  Still a lot of work to get it down.

La Jolla California Block in

This is a commission I am working on.  It is a a beach scene near La Jolla California and I doing this in oils.  I need to fix my cliff area and make some adjustments but it is getting close to being done.
