Riva degli Schiavoni
Pastel on sanded paper / 14 × 32 in / Available
My wife and I passed the holidays in La Serenissima, and once again I was completely absorbed by the movement of the water and the ornamentation of the noble city.
Peace of Venice
Watercolor on Arches / 20x14 in / Available at Cutter & Cutter Fine Art
From my recent month in Venice during the end of the 2021 pandemic lockdown.
Gondolas
Oil / 15 x 39 inches / Available in Russia
I always liked gondolas for how they bounce and dance on the water. The poles provide a vertical geometry, contrasting the horizontal curves of the gondolas. The deep jade color of the canals reflects so beautifully.
Parsonage Sunset
Oil on Linen / 16 x 20 in / 2024 / Available at Cutter & Cutter
Such classic American architecture looks great in any light, especially early morning in summer. Painted on site from life.

Heart of the Island
Oil on Linen / 11 x 14 in / 2024 / Available at Cutter & Cutter
Though the inhabitants of the island are well under 100 souls, this beautiful, old non-denominational church building gathers them together into a community. Painted from life in June of 2024, in the delicious light of early morning.
Wyatt's Wharf
Oil on Linen / 12 x 24 in / 2024 / Available at Cutter & Cutter
Painted from life on the always-fascinating island of Frenchboro, Maine.
Checkerboard Hall
Oil on Panel / 20x20 in / Available at Reinert Fine Art
Winner “Peoples’ Choice” at OPA Nationals in Charleston, 2023. The main loggia at Villa Vitalba fascinates me, because of the play of light on the arches and the red and white tiled floor. Guests spend hours talking and resting in this luminous space.
The Clocks of Villa Vitalba
Oil / Panel / 27.5 in sq / Available
The Villa Vitalba outside Bergamo presents scores of intimate views onto its luxurious history. The light is amazing. I enjoyed using the light beam as a compositional force equal to objects with physical weight. I enjoyed the color scheme of burgundy with icy mint.
Light of Villa Vitalba
Oil on Linen / 20 x 24 in / Available through Gallery 1261
In this magnificent villa outside Bergamo, my wife and I teach painting courses every other year. The owners have enjoyed this estate as their family summer home since 1492, and one feels the lived-in happiness and bounty of this legacy. In this luminous hall we have demonstrations, dances, morning chats, and vicious ping-pong tournaments. The patterned floor was too much fun too ignore.
