"Sailing on Lake Garda" 

11x14", oil on canvas

The landscape of northern Italy was inspirational and offered many sketching and painting opportunities in the sunny summer weather of 2018. This painting was based on plein air sketches and several others followed.

"Summer Hike to Avalanche Lake"

14x18", oil on masonite

This painting was done from a compilation of on-location sketches and watercolor pieces. It was inspiring to see people enjoying exercise as well as the natural beauty of this place.

Sweet Violets

"Two Sweet Violets"

16x20", oil

Painting flowers never seems to get old, as we bring a bit of nature indoors. Humble, sweet violets made for a still life opportunity and have since found a wonderful home. 

"Susquehanna Sonata" Show

Two of my paintings, "Susquehanna from York Haven" (top left) and "City Island Summer Boats"(bottom left) are part of an invitational show, "Susquehanna Sonata", at Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in conjunction with the Harrisburg Art Association, December 2017-February 2018.
