Acrylic Painting
6×8″ beveled panel
I love the back roads of Bucks County where I often pass fields of trees like this one. Here’s an impression of the fluttering leaves and flashes of color that caught my eye while I drove by.
Please email me for purchase of the painting.

Oil Painting
6×9″ beveled panel
I started doing paintings of glass spheres and beach stones in the mid-’90s and haven’t stopped. I still find these elements completely absorbing and elusive, paying close attention to which objects to use and how to arrange them. One painting leads to the next and to the next in a continuous stream, as I spontaneously try to capture the essence, in a brushstroke or color, of these things that I love.
This painting is SOLD. Please email with requests!
Oil Painting
3.75×3.75″ beveled panel
Reflected inside the glass is the beach stone. This small painting is actually another version of a larger work – “Moonlit” – from a few posts ago.
Email me for purchase of this painting with custom-made floating frame.
SOLD
Silverpoint Drawing
5×7″ prepared panel
The beach stone and sphere are drawn with silver wire on prepared illustration board. Over time the silver lines gradually tarnish to a warm sepia tone, which is characteristic of this drawing medium known as silverpoint.
Please email me for purchase.
Oil Painting
10×8″ bevel-edged panel
“Moonlit” is the latest in my ever-growing Meditations series of paintings and silverpoint drawings of natural elements with glass spheres. See the others here and on my website.
Please email me for purchase of this painting. The wide “floating” frame I created is an integral part of the painting. Photos of the framed painting will be provided upon request.
Oil Painting
9.5×12.5″ panel
This is a slightly larger work in my Meditations series. I’m not sure what type of elegant seedpods these are, but they worked well as tiny canoes being adrift in this strange landscape. I really like the cool dry quality of the colors.
I typically “float” these paintings on a frame that I design and build as an integral part of the work; photos upon request. Please email me if you are interested in purchasing this painting with custom frame.
Silverpoint Drawing
3.5×4.5″ prepared paper
Silverpoint is a drawing rendered with a silver stylus on a prepared surface. The lines gradually oxidize (tarnish) to their characteristic sepia tone. The drawing is heightened with white ink and pastel.
Please email me to purchase this silverpoint.
Oil Painting
8×10″ panel
The latest painting in my Meditations series – the beauty of nature’s objects juxtaposed with an object of manufactured perfection; beach stones and glass sphere. There’s something right or comforting to me to have these pairings. The clear glass is an inside/outside presence and has come to represent an observer. Me; maybe you. I’m still smitten with the stones and the fantastic designs and textures of Nature…

Please email me for purchase of “Venturing Out.”

It was a mob scene at The Trenton City Museum (Trenton, NJ) last night. Ellarslie Mansion is the name of the museum building where the annual juried Ellarslie Open is held. It’s a beautiful setting amidst the grounds of Cadwalader Park. I was happy to be included in this exhibition, and the accompanying one at Artworks.
These are the two paintings on exhibit:
“Balance” at Artworks until June 1
“Curious” at Ellarslie until June 20
I hope you have a chance to check out these shows! Click on links for more info.
