Lily pond


This is a painting I've done from a place along a Delaware Water Gap hiking trail in Pa. just off of rt.611. About a quarter of a mile in, on the right hand side, there is a pool of water with hundreds of water lilies peeking out. Due to heavy rains and flooding over the past several years, the area has changed and is now difficult to navigate. 16x20 oil on stretched canvas. Please click image for larger view.

Sunset on the mountain

Sunset on the Mountain



I decided to go with lots of color in this sunset scene.Rather than silhouette the foreground in deep shadow, I wanted to reveal the landscape as well. 8x10 oil on panel.

Colors of a snowy day

I rarely paint winter scenes, but with all the snow storms we've been having lately I figured it's about time. I went to our local park and thoroughly enjoyed trekking through the snow and finding plenty of reference shots to work from. This is an 8x10 oil on canvas board.

Fallen tree in forest light



Usually I fuss and fret and wind up spending days on end adjusting and readjusting my work, but for some reason I've allowed myself the freedom to let things just "be". I've tried a new technique on the "Fallen tree in Forest Light" taken from a scene I shot while hiking in the fall . I began painting in my shapes and colors with my reference photo and canvas turned to their side instead of upright. This allowed me to concentrate on getting the light right instead of focusing on "what" I was painting. Once I got that down, I tried to keep my paints thin, to retain transparent color in the areas of light, deepening in the shadow areas with slightly thicker paint as well as using thicker paint for the fallen tree.

Spring inspirations





Every year, in the town of Belleville, NJ people from all over the Metropolitan area flock to see the Cherry Blossom Festival in Branch Brook Park. There are literally hundreds of these beautiful trees lining quaint little paths throughout the park, both a photographer's and artist's delight. I love walking the familiar paths, but still take hundreds of photos each and every Spring. Another favorite place of mine is Hudson County Park, in North Bergen, NJ. These paintings were inspired by scenes from these areas.
