This was painted several years ago, past Cold Spring, New York. It is a painting of Bannerman Castle, along the Hudson River, at sunset. I retouched the painting, enriching the color and values, giving more of a sense of space to the original.

Head of the Harbor

Oil - 10 x 16"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This was painted in summer of 2005 and exhibited at the Salmagundi Club in New York at the annual "Thumb-Box" exhibition (a tradition over a hundred years old.) It was painted in the summer of Long Island, near Stony Brook, at a place called Head of the Harbor. There is a quite little beach, not too well known (hopefully it will stay that way) which is quite nice, beautiful and lovely. There are many high reeds and grasses that go out into the ocean bay there, which is also much favored by many water fowl there. You can see out to someone's personal boat dock in the distance and beyond that is a peninsula off in the distance, way beyond out of view of the painting is a distant shore which is Stony Brook. It is a place of calm, peaceful meditative quite and one to where I like to occasionally return to and paint. This was one of my more successful attempts at capturing the scene. Some of the water and reflection and wet beach can be seen in the foreground as evidence of the high tide that was recently there but has gone out now.

Subdued Sunrise over Lake St. Catharine

Oil - 9 x 12"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This was a dawn, early sunrise painting, done at Lake St. Catharine in Wells, Vermont this past month of June. This particular painting, called "Subdued Sunrise" show the lake and sunrise with some cloud coverage but enough breakage, enough clearing to let some dawn sun rays come through, yet it is softened and subdued by a relative amount of clouds and atmosphere. The painting show a vibrant harmony, a soft harmony, yet enlivened by warms, the kind of exciting colors of dawn (and sunset) but held back just ever so, in reserve.

Carnations with Green Glass

Oil - 18 x 24"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This was painted in late 2005 in my north light studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. It is a traditional still life painting with a beautiful vibrant, yet somewhat subdued, harmony of color and red and yellow flowers, carnations, with an orange with it's leave still on it, bought at a stand in Chinatown near canal street in Manhattan. The green of the leaf also relates with the green of the bottle and the blue Christmas ornament. There is also an antique brass bowl holding the flowers, all set on white linen with a very thinly painting background, ala Fantin Latour, one of my better still lifes I feel.

Painter's Palette

Oil - 18 x 24"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This large red flower in the painting is known as "Painter's Palette" because the shape of the flower is similar to the shape of a traditional wooden palette used by oil painters throughout history. The bell shaped yellow flowers within the painting are known as Calla Lilies. Then the roses within the painting are yellow and red predominantly with hints of green tying all the flowers together with these common colors making a harmony of red, yellow and green. The round glass vase is of deep blue green color off-setting the flowers and other elements within the painting. The red ceramic tea cup and two figurines are related with their red and white ceramic designs. The two figurines being table condiments (salt and pepper shakers).

This was painted in the snow in Central Park, in Manhattan (New York city) in 2007. It was a clear day with cool blue shadows and but this contrasted with the warms of the building, the trees and the vestiges of foliage in the trees created a subdued prismatic range of colors.

Port Regal

Oil - 11 x 14"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This is not Italy, Spain or France, it's a scene on Staten Island, New York. The apartment building is called "Port Regal" and sits by the ocean. The grass was a most intense verdant green because of the recent rains and the season (spring). It's my hope that I conveyed some feeling one would find in a painting by Corot.

This is a spontaneous painting of a plate of peaches, a study in harmony of colors presented by nature in the simplest of arrangements. Pinks, ochers, yellows and violets intermingle throughout the painting tying it all together. The painting was inspired by similar studies done by Fantin LaTour.
