Springtime Country Landscape
16x20
acrylic on canvas

One of my favorite places to walk. I usually carry my sketch book and record impressions. This is one of them from that walk translated into this painting.

Landscape with Pink Sky and Mountains
11x14
acrylic on paper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This particular work was composed over a coffee, on a sketch pad at a local haunt. I liked the sketch, and had to urge to translate it into color, thus the painting. Some of my best works come out of that little coffeehouse. There's no telling what a good cup of joe will do to fire up the creative process.

Birdseye Diner Yellow Coffee Mug
acrylic on canvas paper
9x12

About this painting:
People that know me, know one thing about me. I love my coffee. Not the milkshake, sundae varieties with names longer than intros to some novels, but rather the kind that pours out black and you add at the most cream, or sugar. or both. Well anyway, this is one of my many favorite coffee mugs. Having just finished my brew, I painted the mug, which is now immortalized in paint, for all time. It sits on an insulated fabric insulated coaster, available at WSDreams from Etsy.
I hope you like my mug, and my painting.
Someday maybe I'll paint my other mug, the one I see in the mirror. ~ ugh, or is that mugh!
Soup Can
9x12
acrylic on canvas paper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I actually painted this in my studio, and it was just a bunch of stuff near by and the can sat on a table edge covered with a cloth. But, people not knowing that, have come to see the can on a hill of grass and a city in the background. Thats what you got to love about expressive paintings. You can never tell what interpretation will surface from viewing them.

Seaside Boathouse
16 x 20
acrylic on stretched canvas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A place I sketched from a photo I took on Old Cape Cod. It was early in the morning, no one was around but me and my coffee. I wandered down to the boats waiting on the shore, and just soaked in the peace and quite.
