I was recently interviewed about my art by e-magazine Voyage Houston and it was released yesterday, June 27, 2018.  Follow the link to read the interview, see some of my paintings, and view a photo of me milking a cow!  (That should make the visit TRULY worthwhile!)

Portland Head Light

Oil on Canvas
16x20
Not for Sale
(Prints are available)

As a child of a US Marine, we moved frequently.  For two years, we were stationed at Brunswick Naval Air Station, Maine.  Nearby, in Cape Elizabeth, was this hauntingly beautiful lighthouse known as "Portland Head Light."  I've painted this as a gift for my mother as a reminder of our wonderful life near the sea....

Making Waves

18x24
Oil

We've all seen them:  paintings that look like they were made by a gorilla that sell for record amounts of money in the art world.  After a particularly frustrating day (and seeing some of those astronomical purchase prices via a fellow artist's Facebook post), I temporarily regressed back to the simpler days of childhood.  Using leftover paint on my palette and my trusty middle finger, I created this seascape fingerpainting.  Enjoy.

Moonlit Beach


Oil on Belgian linen on panel, 6x6--Purchase for $75
This is my first night scene. We had the most glorious full moon the other night and I wanted to combine its beauty with that of the ocean. I am utterly charmed by this one....

Beach, No. 2

For this beach scene, I chose a different kind of panel--yesterday's was a smooth Ampersand one; today's is on a polyflax, cotton canvas mounted to a balanced wood panel by RayMar. The main difference is the amount of texture. The canvas shows its weave. However, for landscapes, I think I actually prefer the smoother board--it's cheaper, uses more paint, but gives the art a more "polished" look. Any thoughts?

Beach, No. 1

This is quite a departure for me: landscapes are rare in my repertoire; yet beach scenes are even rarer. In fact, this is the first one I ever attempted. (Reminds me of Nagshead, NC....heavy sigh.)

I planned on putting this painting in a gallery on the historic Square in Georgetown, TX in preparation for this month's First Friday festivities. I even had an antique guilded frame for it (which added to the price)!!!!! Alas, an East Coast transplant who visited my home FOUR HOURS LATER took it home with her....
