Oil Painting 8×6″ panel These are the colors of Early Autumn in my own back yard – an impression. Please email me if you are interested in this landscape.
“Broken Shell”
Silverpoint Drawing 7.5×5.5″ green-gray prepared paper Here’s another “interior” piece that I drew a while back. This shell is one of my favorite things, a beautiful natural sculpture. While drawing this I thought of the curving walls of the shell, stretching across the missing parts. Tones in a silverpoint drawing are made up of layers… Read more »
“Inside Out”
Silverpoint Drawing 5×4.5″ blue-gray prepared paper This seashell was drawn with a silver stylus on specially coated paper, a Renaissance-era medium known as Silverpoint. Layers upon layers of lines become tones, and over time the silver gradually tarnishes to a metallic sepia. The drawing is heightened in white ink. See more silverpoints in The Art… Read more »
“Shaker”
Silverpoint Drawing 4.5×6.5″ blue-gray prepared paper Lately, I’ve been focused on working in wood, putting most of my energy behind some ideas I’m trying out in that medium…must get it while it’s hot.

“The Receding Tide”
Acrylic Painting 5×7″ prepared panel I took a walk in a living painting – of this sunset along the Maine coast in Ogunquit as day ended and the ocean receded. Well, this tries to come close to the colors I saw… Please email me if you are interested in this evening-scape.
“Currents” detail
Wood frame detail This is a detail section of the mirror frame that I spoke about in Sept. 22 “Woodcraft” post. The wide frame is filled with wavy, compound curves of natural woods: walnut, cherry, mahogany and poplar that are inter-woven. I was interested in fashioning shapely pieces (some very intricate) with the intent of… Read more »
“Woodcraft”
Cherry wood 11.5″ detail For the past few weeks, I’ve been putting long hours into preparing for Works in Wood, a national juried show held in the New Hope Arts Center. The deadline for this came sooner than expected! I wanted to create something that was fun, fine, and functional. So, I decided to design… Read more »
“Stanislaw”
Silverpoint Drawing 6.25×9″ ochre prepared panel This is the first silverpoint I drew of “Stanislaw” a couple of years ago. I borrowed this face from a painting by Polish artist Jacek Malczewski (1854-1929). I love the sculptural qualities of it! And, it’s high time I’ve added a new mustachioed fellow to my collection.
