First Light

The Caribbean

This is what I awoke to on the morning that we were leaving. It made it that much more difficult.

The Point

2016, Oil on Hardboard, 6"x 8"
The Caribbean
#210


At each end of a bay on Tortola, there is normally a point like this one. They are usually rocky and relatively immobile. They are the sentinels that keep watch over their beach.

Trestle Rust

Scenes From a a Train
#200


Today's painting is another from my series, Scenes From a Train. I thought that a snow scene might be kind of refreshing right about now.

The Dance at St. Mark's

2015, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 5"
#197


This is a painting of the courtyard at St. Mark's Church in NYC. More specifically, it is a painting of a very old locust tree hat happens to be in the courtyard at St. Mark's Church. I love New York and I love trees, so any time that I can combine the two is a red letter day.

Sands of New Jersey

2015, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 5"
Scenes From a Train
#191

This seemed to be a comination of the last two small paintings yhat I've done (water tower, smaoke stack, etc.). It had the added bonus of having heavy earthmoving equipment and mountains of sand.

Newark at Dusk

2015, Oil on Canvas, 10"x 20"
Scenes From a Train


This is one of those scenes that epitomizes just how contrary the landscape can be along the railways.

When taking Amtrak to NYC this is the last vista seen before entering the Hudson River tunnel.

Large Cloud

Another day of huge clouds. In fact the working title for this was Monster Cloud. I went for tame.

Backlit Cloud

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 7"
#176


Taking a break from the City to paint what's actually around me. Ironic because one of the reasons that I moved to the country was to paint landscapes. So, back to my roots.

Under the Big Curve



2014, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 7"
Scenes From a Train
#167


Coming out of Harrisburg, PA, the train passes under this overpass. I have always enjoyed figuring out where we are and if I've ever been here using any other mode of transportation. I'm weird that way. This is the Airport Connector (it's actually called that) which is the main entryway into the Harrisburg International Airport. Having flown out of there on many occasions it gives me the hat trick: planes, trains and automobiles. Weird might be putting it mildly.

Over Under

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 4"x 7"
Scenes From a Train
#162


This bridge caught my eye from about 200 yards up the track. There's something about red. I'd like to think that Paul Georges would appreciate this one.

Cemetery at Dusk

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"
#156


First painting of the New Year! I know, but I've been sick. This is a painting of Mont Alto Cemetery which is about three miles from my studio. Every now and then, on my way to and from the Post Office or the bank or Frank's Pizza, I stop here to take pictures. The pizza gets cold but it's worth it.

Redwoods

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 4"
#155


More trees from Seattle. This painting is of, I believe, a clump of redwoods. I say clump for lack of a better word. I love trees but sometimes I wish I were more of a botanist or an arborist.

Redwood

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 4"
#154

Another of the many astonishing trees in Seattle. This magnificent Redwood was located in the park next to the Locks.

Imperial Walkers

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 12"x 3"
#153


This is a painting of the view from I-5 as we leaving Seattle for the airport. The thing that struck me was how the sun broke through a crevice in the clouds and shone on the Imperial Walkers. These are the heavy lifters along the Duwamish Waterway. I've always been impressed by these behemoths which seem to dominate the landscapes of just about every major seaport.

The Taxi, 3, Cleared

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"
Scenes From a Plane
#152


The third installment in our series, this is the scene as we are about to take off. It is absolutely my favorite point in any flight, the moment of anticipation of that incredible acceleration that always brings me back to neighborhood drag racing. Not that any of my clunkers were anywhere near this fast.

Morning in City Park

2013, Oil on Canvas, 14"x 11"


This is a painting of City Park in Hagerstown, Maryland. It was painted, or at least started on-site during the summer and am just getting around to finishing it. When I start a landscape outdoors I prefer to finish it in the studio. Outdoors I'm in record mode, later, without the distraction of reality, I can concentrate on just making it a good painting.

Bridge Over Bridge

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"
#150


Sitting under one of the many bridges in Seattle. It looks like the Aurora Bridge but I can't be sure because I lost track of where we were. This was the case for most of the day until we would come to a landmark.
