From city scenes around Rochester, the hills of the Finger Lakes and to the shore of Lake Ontario.
Behind Schoen Place, there's a beautiful meadow - part of an unworked farm. We were told that at one time they raised miniature horses there.
Had to paint this from a photograph I took in April. The wind was blowing like crazy and extremely cold. It was the only way I could do it.
This was done on a cold and damp morning in Mendon Ponds. The fall colors were just beginning to show. SOLD
The colors were spectacular and the water was perfectly calm. The bridges in the park are a terrific subject. SOLD
The morning was extremely hot and sticky and the bugs were out in droves. I decided to just work from photos for this one.
There was a beautiful yellow glow in the sky on this morning - something I never really noticed before, so it made this painting special for me. Even the marsh grass (which is usually artistic suicide for me) came out well. Done at Burger Park on Salmon Creek. This has become one of my favorite paintings.
Done on a hazy, hot summer morning while standing on the right of way on Empire Blvd. The traffic flying past was a bit unnerving, but the scene itself was calm and pleasant. This painting will be given to the attorney who donated his time and energy to help the Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters to incorporate. SOLD
I have recently opened a shop on the website ETSY. I am adding new items everyday including prints of many of the original paintings you see here on my blog, as well as other paintings done in other mediums. I hope you'll stop in there often to see what's new!
