My paintings are inspired by landscapes and the sea, animals, architecture, and of course, people. I strive to capture the essence and broad range of subjects while creating pleasing design with vibrant color, strong strokes, and capturing the play of light and shadows. Some is created in studio and some on location (Plein Air). Plein Air requires organization and a rapid, decisive style to capture the substance before the changing light affects the image. My art training and medical background gives me an important feel for anatomy and mass that is very important for painting animal and human portraits. The eyes are especially important for capturing the essence I strive to evoke the and soul of the being. For dog portraits,it is important to attempt to see their faithful companion through the owner's eyes. To paint a home or a boat requires paying attention to the little details that make it special. If you look on my website, you will see the range of works I have been commissioned to paint, including portraits of people, and their homes, boats and pets plus other subjects. Other times, I paint because the subject matter captivates me, whether it is a landscape, a maritime seascape, an animal, or some other subject. I have available original oil paintings as well as giclees of my paintings. (A high resolution photograph of the original painting printed on canvas.) The result looks strikingly like an original, but with less texture...
