Blossom

This is my friend Blossom from the Monday painter group. One afternoon, some of the group talked me into doing a demo of a portrait painting and this was the result.


Gretna

This painting was done at Mount Gretna when I went with a group of plein air painters.


Beach Quickies

These were VERY quick sketches that I did at Rehoboth Beach a few weeks ago (before my paints and brushes got dumped into the sand (and the people all got up and moved).


Some Monday Group still life setups





Commission of a Fort

This painting may seem odd unless you know the people and story behind it. It was commissioned by a former student of mine for his father and mother as an anniversary gift. There's a big story behind the fort (which I won't go into). Several older photos were combined and some elements made up to create this fort - which now has a housing development in the background instead of the view of Ski Roundtop.
