| Fog Delay

Painted Sky Revisited
24X30 Acrylic on Canvas
2009
"I call this revisited because I recently added to the painting after leaving it for a year. The clouds are new and the colors deepened from my first look at this study of the southwestern landscape. It is based on my memories of visits and hikes in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe region."

Hot Day
11 X 14 Acrylic on Canvas
2008
"My recent work has been with the acrylic medium and has led me into experimenting with abstracts, an area I have wanted to try. One thing I have already learned is it is not that easy for a structured and detail oriented artist to "loosen up" and define a subject in the abstract. But it is fun."

All Quiet
24 X 36 Acrylic on Board
2008
"All Quiet began in my mind as an abstract but I quickly found myself painting with detail. The subject of trees has become one of my main interests and for me, the detail in a tree must be studied and captured in a composition. Yet I also want to loosen up into the abstract, so my challenge is set."

Racing in to Watch Hill
24 X 60 Acrylic on Board
2008
"Many years were spent sailing on "SISU" but alas those times passed by. My memories gave me this composition that depicts the sailors' racing the weather in returning to safe harbor. Watch Hill was selected but it could be anyone of many sailing areas along New England shores."

Watch Hill Sentinel
16 X 20 Acrylic on Canvas
2007
" This is one of my first acrylic medium paintings and another view of one of my favorite lighthouse subjects. The composition developed from my observations on a late winter day after an off shore storm had raised up surf. A late afternoon sun highlights the light station and helps portray it as the sentinel for weather watching."

Early Light
14 X 18 Acrylic on Canvas
2008
"Early Light is an alternative expression of my work, "Hot Day" using the same subject but with a cool palette and more impressionist in approach. As one may perceive, my mind works in mysterious ways."

2008
"I used my wife's collection of beachcombing treasures to compose this still life; one may see the skeleton of a seahorse in amongst the stones and shells."

High Country Pass
24 X 36 Acrylic on Canvas
2008
"Having visited some areas of New Mexico and Arizona I decided to put some impressions on canvas that I had of the high desert and varied climate one finds. An alternate title for this piece may be "Touch of Snow" but my intent is to give the viewer an idea that high country can be a surprise."

FALLING SNOW
14 x 18 Acrylic on Canvas
2008
This painting is an expression of my quiet or peaceful emotions; the silence in a snowfall and the veil on vision were my goals in this view of a stand of trees. I hope the viewer senses them.
