Did another painting of Bob in the sunbeams. The sunbeams are on the floor where the vertical blinds break up the light and Bob naps in their warmth. Good Morning Bob and Good Night Bob are each 16x20 in. oil on canvas paintings. Drop me a line if you're interested in...
Got to spend a few days on the Outer Banks of NC. Beautiful, sunny, warm days so no surf, no wind for kiteboarding, excellent painting weather though. Did several seascapes which I'll post later but really liked this little 9x12 of the Ghost Crabs. little different. Study...
I'm not usually inspired to paint pets but when It's yours and he strikes such an interesting pose, I couldn't resist. Bob is a manx cat which is characterized by a stubby tail. Don't you like his original insightful name? Yes, he's a bobtail cat. He like all our cats...

Several weeks ago, Sarah Merritt, the director of the Arts Council of Wayne Co. asked if I would paint a picture to use as the award to be given to the Wayne County Artist of the Year. I was honored that she would even think of me for such an important project and...
I've not been to the beach recently and have been inspired by some of the old unkempt houses in the county. I did a plein air of one just a couple of miles from my home. What interested me was not the house itself, but the trees and wildflowers growing around it. We've had a...
Welcome to my new blog.
