Recent Work

Above is my latest completed painting. This is latest addition to my Faraway Places series. The painting is a compliation of photos taken in Greece. This scene is in Napflio, a beautiful seaside town. The title is Feed a Cat a Fish, 37.56818N. As the sun comes out after a shower the cats find someone has left them a nice lunch. This piece is 14"x14" and the challenge was to capture a bit of reflection in the water left behind after the rain, along with all the details in the shops.

My Working Process

Painting is an observation. One often passes through the landscape or a place often without recognizing its’ uniqueness, emotion, or imagination. Reflecting upon a landscape that I have recently passed through, or recalling one from childhood, brings me images to paint. The colors and shapes are strong, yet often fragmented images in my mind. The “snapshots” when melded together may tell a story, create a mood, or recall a memory. I search for a sense of place, how I relate to it, and the emotions and memories which it evokes.
