Frosty Morning, Just Before Sunrise, View From My Window

It looks like this out there these January mornings. The coldest, frostiest mornings always seem to come in January, right after all the warmth and color of the holiday season. I painted this in January 2012, standing at my bathroom window overlooking the back yard, the streets below me down to Main Street, and the […]

This painting may look like a recent Carnegie scene but it goes way back. I was just out of college and painted it long before I’d decided to devote part of my career to art, and I marvel that I created this when I did, in 1983. It’s just the beginning of October and the […]

Frosty Morning, Just Before Sunrise

It looks like this out there this morning. The coldest, frostiest mornings always seem to come in January, right after all the warmth and color of the holiday season. I painted this in January 2012, standing at my window to sketch the basics but finishing from a photo, the light so fleeting. I look at […]

View from Beechwood, Acrylic and Ink

This painting may look like a recent Carnegie scene but it goes way back, 34 years to be exact. I was just out of college and painted it long before I’d decided to devote part of my career to art, and I marvel that I created this when I did, in 1983. This was a […]
