A monumental piece that embodies the feel of our New England coast. Painted from life from 7:00am to 8:00pm, capturing a single scene as the tide recedes and returns.

A quiet subject with moving brushwork. Painted from life beside the studio window. These fleeting flowers provided endless variety, moving like a human sitter while being painted.

A four foot painting with wonderful room presence. After weeks of study, painting sessions on the beach, and multiple photo shoots, this work was composed in the studio. It features 30 seagulls, near life size, taking control of the shore as the tide rolled out along the shore of Connecticut.

As the seasons change, the sun warms up and dips into the studio window each afternoon. This jade plant has been an ever-evolving subject for the past couple years. Missed waterings, little kids, and times of growth have created a wonderful, organic shape that when paired with the pattern of light created a wonderful composition.
