Victoria Sketch

This is a pencil and chalk sketch of Victoria, a great woman taken from the world much too soon.  She was a great friend of our family.  She will be sorely missed.

Lake Hiawatha painting

This is a Holiday painting for my Dad. I have many happy childhood memories of fishing at this northern Colorado lake near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.  The sunsets over the lake were almost as good as the fishing.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas,  I have not posted in a while since I have been working on presents and other things which cannot be posted yet.  I will endeavor to post more in the coming weeks.  Happy Holidays!

La Jolla Beach Commissions finished

I finished and shipped my La Jolla Beach commission.  This is an oil painting 11 x 14 inches and was a fun challenge of waves and blues.

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.
