Acrylic Painting
9.5×11″ panel
This is another still life from my Meditations series (see last few posts and website). “Orbits” was one of the first paintings in what is turning out to be a very expansive body of work, using natural elements with human-made objects. Read more about this in the last few posts and in more detail on my website.
Artists, trust your intuition about where to direct your focus and energy.
Please email me if you are interested in this painting.

Acrylic Painting
10×22″ panel
This is another painting from my Meditations series, which is all about natural elements - with a touch of the human-made. This series started in the late 1990s with a few interesting stones that I gathered from a beach in Scotland - and has been expanding ever since.
I believe this is going to be a life-long journey; I’ve come to think of this work as my spiritual iconography.
Please email me if you are interested in this painting.

This is a scene from Bucks Gallery of Fine Art in Newtown, PA for the opening of “It’s All About Art” - a juried show featuring sculpture, photography, works on paper, and paintings. It was great to see so many people come out on a frigid night to celebrate the Arts!

Oil Painting
5×7″ panel
This was inspired by a photograph that my friend Joe Zogorski took. I gave it back to him as a painting, so it’s not for sale.
Do you have a favorite photo that you’d like me to interpret?
If so - email me!

Art Opening at New Hope Arts Center
Saturday was the opening of Bucks Life magazine’s first annual juried show “It’s All About Art” held at New Hope Arts Center. It was great to be part of this group of woodworkers, sculptors, painters and photographers! I have ten paintings scattered throughout the gallery. This show is split into two galleries, at two locations, with two openings that are a week apart…
There will be another opening of “It’s All About Art” on Saturday, January 24 - at Bucks Gallery of Fine Art in Newtown, PA. The shows, at both locations, run until February 24, so take some time off. Treat yourself to two interesting galleries in two great towns!

Oil Painting
6×6″ panel
This painting is based on a photo from Karin Jurick’s Different Strokes From Different Folks blog, where artists are encouraged to work creatively from a photograph that is posted every two weeks. It’s very interesting to see the same thing through the eyes of another!

Oil Painting
4×6″ bevel-edge panel
The scene is along the Delaware River from the bridge at New Hope, PA. I snapped a photo from the car as we were riding across the bridge to Lambertville, NJ. Later on, I worked from the photo - but soon abandoned that for my imagination. There was this mood I wanted to convey….
To the buyer: This painting panel has finished beveled edges - a tabletop easel is included in the price.

Silverpoint Drawing
4.5×9″ green/blue prepared paper
“Born” was drawn with a silver stylus (silverpoint) on fine paper that I prepared with a green/blue tone heightened with white charcoal. This drawing mediums pre-dates the pencil, and was used extensively during the Renaissance era; earliest silverpoints date to the 12th century. For those who crave tonal drawings or line, silverpoint delivers!
To learn more about It, and to see the silverpoint box and tools that I made, please visit my website.

Oil Painting
6×6″ bevel-edge panel
This is my rather expressionistic 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. In this challenge, artists were paired up and asked to provide a photo of each other - from which they would create a portrait. Upon seeing the photo of Petra, someone who was a complete stranger, I just went with my first impression which was: she seems to have a lively personality. Also, a good reason to let one’s color sense fly! If Petra was willing, I would love to try another portrait, different pose.
I’m happy to report that this painting is no longer available as Petra and I have traded portraits!
