"Escape" (SOLD)

Is she stepping into - or out of - the shadows?

"Cool Encounter, Milan"

Not sure what I think of this one.  I loved the idea.  Maybe because I love shade on a hot summer day!

"Anna Ascending" (SOLD)

The sun is rising... the house is quiet... a beautiful start to the day.

"Rebel in the Rain" (NFS)

Mom always told her not to go outside during a storm... and certainly not in a diaper!  But she's a little rebel, and Daddy's golf umbrella will protect her just fine.

This painting will be presented soon to my favorite Italian matriarch.  She's been through a few storms, and definitely has a bit of the rebel in her.

"Blue Victorian" (NFS)

OK... This one just doesn't photograph well, but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.  And that's rare.  It's my version of a painting by my new favorite painter, Jeremy Mann.  I won't be selling it on eBay since it's based on his work, but I do plan to produce some more pieces in his very loose, creative style (I've found some great photos of Venice at night, for example).  Anyway, if you like Impressionism, check out his site.

"Into the Village" (SOLD)

Steps lead from a shadowed alley into the bright sunlight of Sorrento, Italy.

"Harbor Dusk" (SOLD)

Another of the paintings from my Taos trip. Yes, I went to the desert to paint the ocean... go figure.

A glass of wine at sunset on the deck of your sailboat before we go inside to cook a gourmet dinner? I'm in!

Many thanks to Tom L. for the fantastic source photo!

"Desert Dwelling" (SOLD)

No longer are the faithful called to prayer from the top of the minaret. The residents of this desert town in Qatar have moved way, leaving only swirls of dust whipped up by the arid wind.

Thanks, Daniel, for the inspiring photo.

"Entwined" (Private Collection)

Some good friends of mine got married in New Zealand recently. I did this painting of a scene in Abel Tasman National Park for them.

"Afternoon Shadows, Real de Catorce" (SOLD)

Half of the alley gets relief from the scorching Mexican summer sun. Later, as the sun sets, the mountainside town will be blissfully cool.

Gracias, Oswaldo!

"Tropical Timeout" (SOLD)

Warm sand... crystal clear water... a salty breeze... the sound of waves lapping at the shore. Mmmmmm.

Many thanks to photographer leenmaldives for the amazing photo!

"Sunrise, Gulf of Mexico" (SOLD)

The rising sun coloring the sky over a Mexican beach and the Gulf of Mexico.
