Gulls on Silver Lake (SOLD)

How trivial my landscape. I like the feel of simple suggestioins to determine detail in the landscape of this scene from Ocracoke Island.

Combination of the Two (SOLD)


Of late I have felt the insecurities that all painters must feel from time to time. Those feeling one gets when you see how your work is not what you wish it was and you begin to compare yourself to others. Then all those other feelings of inadequacy rush in to fill the day. I have been painting most days, at least something, but find it difficult to bring myself to being judged. Alas, I hope this is  temporary.

Diptych in Venice (SOLD)

With reasons unexplained I am in the possession of a box of 8"X24" canvases. An odd size for sure. I have never done a diptych or had a clear course to even create a scene. Here is one of a corner of Venice. I think I like it, but the split in the center seems bothersome.
2 8"X24"
If you can see past my self imposed qualifications and would like to buy these paintings,
this painting is sold.

Sardines (SOLD)


This was a wild go with brushes I have not touched in 2 weeks.
I took a wonderful 8 day vacation and  toured Italy by train. Flew into Venice andspent a couple of days wandering the place and eating everything in sight. We took the train through Tuscany 3 times.   We stayed in Rome the other 6 days and took day trips to Florence and Naples. Toured Pompeii and it was probably the highlight of the trip. I studied the landscape architecture of in Pompeii in college. It was fastinating seeing how this little village was frozen in time by one morning by the rumbling of the volcano up the hill. The park service allows a small number of wildsolitary male dogs roam the place and warn you not to touch them.  It was an interesting addition to the exibit. A little more than 1/2 of the site has been exposed.
The fast trains travel at close to 300 kph. If you can't convert mph to kph you can just imagine fast and can get you around Europe very quickly. I marvel at Europe's mass transportation systems.
This painting is inspired by the Rialto Fish Market in Venice. I took some pictures there. I may post a few soon.........
Oil on canvas 18"X24"
I have donated this painting to the Outer Banks Hospital
