The Magic Bowl II
I wasn’t entirely satisfied with Magic Bowl I. One on the things I thought lacking was textural contrast and I found the paperweight that formed the center of interest to be a weak point in the painting. The daffodil provides both color and textural contrast. I also gave the background more texture... »
At Crane Beach
During my location scouting on Cape Ann this week I ended up at wonderful Crane beach. Crane beach is located near Ipswich north east of Boston. When I arrived I got hit with an unexpected hefty $7 parking fee. Although it was late in the morning and t... »

Compass Rose and Sari ~ Abstracts
These are mini Grand Julians, not as fancy as many do but good for what I can create, for now. Rather suprised they came out at all this time. You can see how different the same creation can be with a bit different shading and background color. The one above I call, “Sari”, because of... »
The Mill Reflects Upon Itself
I love the way old glass distorts reflections. This is the second painting of reflections in old glass I’ve done at the Mission Mill Museum. The old woolen mill is well worth the visit. Most of the original equipment remains inside the mill house and the mill wheel and machinery remains operable. One... »
