Sailboat Mondrian

Sailboat, Duck Creek, Wellfleet Harbor. 6x8 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.  My sailboat paintings are really compositional studies using verticals and horizontals and color.  Sailboat Mondrian. 

Struggle, Passing Time and Love

Sailboat, Duck Creek, Wellfleet Harbor. 12x16 inches, oil on canvas panel. During my recent week in Wellfleet, I became very fond of this boat. Just like an old shed or an abandoned farm truck, it became a symbol of struggle, passing time, and love.

Sun Light Sailboat

Sailboat, Wellfleet Harbor. 6x8 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.  It can't happen often that the sinking sun and the sailboat are aligned.

On Exhibition

I am delighted to report that my painting, "Monhegan Evening," was accepted for the exhibition "Land, Light, Water & Air" at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, VT.  The exhibition will be held from August 26th to October 25th.

Settled in the Mud

Low Tide, Wellfleet Harbor.  18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.  I loved watching this sailboat move up and down and sideways all day long.  When it settled in the mud, it was always pointing in a different direction.  

On Exhibition

I am happy to report that my painting "The Cold River," 8x16 inches, oil on panel, was accepted in the upcoming exhibition "Small Works: Harvest Light" to be held at the Monument Arts & Cultural Center in Bennington, VT from August 14 to November 1, 2026.  

A Mountain Interlude

Mount Greylock from Sheep Hill, Williamstown, MA.  12x12 inches, oil on linen panel.  A mountain interlude painted yesterday.  I used a square panel to include more sky in this iconic view.

Morning Low Tide

Low Tide, Wellfleet, MA. 6x8 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.  I did this one quickly Saturday morning.  The smoke rolled in shortly after.
 

In the Heat on the Path

Path, Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on Raymar panel.  The path looks like it's going into a cave.  I set up in the heat on the path to paint it this morning.  The tall grass probably won't be around much longer for this is about the time when the mowers appear.

Juggling On the North Trail

Mount Greylock from Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on board. I was juggling compositional elements on the North Trail yesterday afternoon.  

Passageway

Path, Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, pencil on paper. I drew this while on my walk the other day.  It's a path cut into the tall grass going into the woods that feels like a passage from one realm into another.

Field Farm Path

Path at Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 6x8 inches, gouache on mixed media paper.  I went for a walk yesterday.

People in a Plaza

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas. I wanted to see how this would turn out: a painting of a crowd of people in a plaza in front of a big church, so I painted it.

Sheep Hill Summer View

Sheep Hill View, Williamstown, MA. 18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.  Too hot to paint outside so I painted a large studio version of the view.

In a Different Spot

View from Sheep Hill, Williamstown, MA. 9x12 inches, oil on Raymar panel.  My power over the weather diminished today since the sun stayed out.   I set up in a different spot this time, more to the left, mainly determined by the location of some shade.  The painting sort of rolled off my brushes as if it knew where it wanted to go.
