I love the play of light and dark, of shadows on still objects. For some reason, I am drawn to oranges and have been wanting to paint them. I love the Nordic design aesthetic, so this is what I was going for in the arrangement. Watercolor on watercolor paper.

Title or Location: Chestnut Hill Hotel
Old buildings are my passion. The older the better! Finding that perfect old place, and then capturing it with the perfect lighting as well, is what I find inspiring. This painting of the Chestnut Hill Hotel checks all the boxes for me. And lots of little details to keep me busy.

Title or Location: Coal Drop
Living in the city of Philadelphia, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and dignity of old, no longer needed structures from the last two centuries. They appear to me almost as dinosaurs from the ancient past that need to be preserved on canvas before they disappear. This particular beast sits on the Delaware River, just beside the former Philadelphia Electric Company site. The whole place is being renovated (thankfully not torn down), so I wanted to make sure I captured it before it gets a f

Title or Location: Florida's Sandhill Crane
In nature, I wait patiently for just the right moment, one that is different but unique to my subject. It?s those unusual positions during grooming, mating ritual, breeding display, or just being silly. I strive to capture the moment that others miss, don?t see or notice. I?ll then use my photography as reference to create, produce and share an art piece that allows others a glimpse into that secret world of lines, colors and details that I see.This Sandhill Crane fit that bill perfectly.

Perhaps my favorite part about moving to Florida is the quiet time spent between me and my brushes studying the beauty of Florida. It &65532appeals to me like no other Subject. I find myself engaged with &65532 the quiet time of days, gone by. When the sun quietly sits leaving an array of color across the sky. The sounds of the swamp stir up a solace within my soul?a happy place. I hope my Florida Painting gives you a sense of peace and joy.24x36 oils ? Hidden Serenity?

Title or Location: Winter snow
As we had the arrival of snow this week I thought it would be perfect to create a nice winter scene, this one came out of my mind rather than a reference photo, so it?s of no particular place other than some music, a paintbrush and a blank canvas. I actually only learnt to paint during lockdown so it?s always really cool when I see the finished product and it looks pretty good.
