"Past Fields in Winter" (SOLD)

A snowy path skirts frozen fields in Hampshire.

Many thanks to P.T. for the beautiful original photo.

"Venice Gondolas" (SOLD)

The lapping of water against gondola hulls mingles with the soft rumble of distant thunder at sunset in Venice.

"To Reach the Beach" (SOLD)

Tired of building sand castles, she toddles off in search of adventure. A little bit of a life metaphor, I suppose.

Gabriella D. is her father's photographic inspiration, and mine for this painting. He asked that I dedicate it to her. So, to Gabriella... Safe travels!

"Expectant"

We interrupt this series of paintings of the South American "altiplano" to bring you this confident and composed ballerina. (I don't know why I ever announce anything as a "series"!)

"Across the Altiplano"

While we share a name and a bunch of longitude lines with South America, it's funny how little we Americans seem to know about it. The Altiplano (Spanish for "high plain"), in west-central South America, is second only to a similar landscape in Tibet as the largest area of high plateau on the planet. The air is clean, the light is pure and, yes... the colors are very vivid! This is the first of what will be a series of paintings of The Altiplano.

Gracias, Lorena, for the colorful original shot!

"In the Shallows (Lake Titicaca, Bolivia)" (SOLD)

A sailboat rocks gently in the shallows of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, with the snow-covered Andes in the background.

Many thanks to Neil for the beautiful photo!

"California Coast (Sun and Shadow)" (SOLD)

Cliffs glow golden in the late afternoon California sun.

Many thanks to Michael R. for the outstanding original shot!

"Ashore with Full Sails" (SOLD)

No anchor required... Its skipper trusts that the gentle Sri Lankan breeze will keep this outrigger safely ashore.

Thanks to my friend Chris for the great photo!

"Anafonitria Monastery" (SOLD)

The roof line of the monastery at Anafonitria, Greece frames the deep blue Mediterranean sky.

Many thanks, Dimitris!

"California Coast Overlook" (SOLD)

Sea birds bob in the surf on the Central California coast at Cambria.

From a fantastic photo by my friend Ron.

"Halifax Fish Shack" (SOLD)

Perched on its own tiny island, this fish shack has endured many years of unforgiving weather in the icy waters off Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Many thanks, Steve N.!

"Thai Fishing Boat, Ting Rai Bay" (SOLD)

A painting that was essentially done over a month ago but just needed a few final touches.

A red-orange moon rises over Ting Rai Bay as one family calls it a day and lets the gentle rocking ease them into slumber.

Thanks Adam C. for the incredible original shot!
