“Winter Walk” is a scene from Washington Crossing Park in Pennsylvania. I loved the curved shelves of fungi jutting out of the tree trunks.
This painting can be seen at Canal Frame-Crafts Gallery in Washington Crossing, PA.

Photograph
Lots of the beach stones I collect are sitting on a wall outside my studio. After a recent ice and snowstorm I stepped outside and slid across the walk to take some photos of them enrobed in ice, like these!
Silverpoint Drawing
4×6″ gray-green prepared paper
Did you know that silverpoint pre-dates the pencil as a drawing medium and reached its height during the Renaissance? This drawing was done with a silver stylus on paper that I prepared with a gray-green tone and heightened with white charcoal. The silver lines will tarnish over time to a metallic sepia tone. To learn more about silverpoint please visit my website by clicking on the link at right.
See other silverpoints of bells on my posts of Dec. 7 and Dec. 12.
SOLD. Please ask about similar work.

“Karin’s Boots” is based on a photo from Different Strokes From Different Folks blog, where artists are encouraged to work creatively, not slavishly, from a photograph that is posted every two weeks. It’s very interesting to see the same thing through the eyes of another!
To the buyer: This painting “floats” on a frame that I designed and painted, which is included in the price. A photo of the framed work will be provided upon request.
Silverpoint Drawing
4.5×6.5″ gray-blue prepared paper
I find some of my favorite things to draw at flea markets: bells, lots of unusual tools, whistles! This beauty is called The Thunderer. It works great!
This was drawn with a silver stylus on a prepared gray-blue tone heightened with white charcoal. A drawing rendered with silver wire is known as silverpoint, which pre-dates the pencil. This drawing medium was used extensively during the Renaissance era, though some of the earliest silverpoints date back to the 12th century.
To learn more about Silverpoint and to see the box and tools that I made please visit my website.
To the buyer: A mat or frame will be added to this drawing, which is included in the price.

“Awakening” is my interpretation of a photo provided by artist Karin Jurick on her Different Strokes From Different Folks blog, where artists are encouraged to work creatively from the photos that she posts. It’s very interesting to see the same thing through the eyes of someone else.
This painting is SOLD.
Silverpoint Drawing
5×5″ gray-green prepared paper
Did you know that silverpoint pre-dates the pencil as a drawing medium and reached its height during the Renaissance? This drawing was done with a silver stylus; I prepared the paper with a gray-green tone, and heightened the drawing with white charcoal. The lines are actually silver and will tarnish over time to a metallic sepia tone. To learn more about Silverpoint please visit my website by clicking on the link at right.
The buyer will receive this drawing matted or framed. A Silverpoint Description card will accompany it.

Does this resemble a brain to you too, or am I thinking too much?
SOLD; please email me if you are interested something similar.
Oil Painting
5×7″ panel
This scene was at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA - a long wooden bridge to the bright open meadow. Setting up of easels and painting aren’t allowed on the grounds so I did this from a photo and my imagination.
If ever you paint from photos, at some point let them go and finish up with the creative side of your brain. Being a slave to the photo serves no purpose, in my humble opinion.
This landscape is part of a group show right now at Riverbank Arts Gallery in Stockton, NJ. They carry a wide range of work from Delaware River area artists.
