Apricots and Grapes

A little still life of fruit. I am very much thinking about how texture and metadata can portray light- the way light bounces and diffuses. As it diffuses it translates into a kind of noise or pixelation, much as the algorithms in Photoshop emulate these dynamics.

Winter Sycamores

Portrait in Ink and Wash

A sepia ink and wash portrait of a man.

Twenty Knots

I painted this at the Rye Yacht Club during a day where the winds were gusting from 20 to 30 knots. I painted this from inside a boat house with the door open, otherwise, it would have been virtually impossible to paint in this kind of wind.

New York City Art Studio

A watercolor painting I made in the studio of my friend Janet , which occupied the front parlor of the top floor of a nineteenth century five story walkup on the corner of 55th Street and 8th Ave. Amazing light but also a real sense of New York City when the windows were open and you could feel the energy of the throngs of people and activity below. Yet on a still gray day it could be quiet and serene.

Blue Jay Nest

One spring a blue jay family raised up their young right next to the back porch at the Vermont house oin Stowe. I always had some paints and an easel setup out there and just sat down and painted.
