September, Working Outside
Published by September 16th, 2011 in Blog and painting on location. 0 CommentsPainting on location keeps me fresh. It makes the studio work stronger and it’s fun. This is a study of Wychmere Harbor. This is just how a study of mine looks on site. Loose, heavy rich paint and soft edges. This new painting is available. Just email for details or contact one of my galleries. [...]
Flying Air Lingus back from Ireland, as I have done many times. I felt fairly relaxed and familiar using this airline. No one likes to fly. Too many people packed into small seats, breathing recycled air. We got to the airport early so we could get to the lounge early, eat, relax and listen for [...]

As the sun finally comes out, I want to write about the fog. The fog surrounding the beaches where I live is a consistent visual and I love it. A lot of artists are in a fog about what to paint. Today I am posting an overcast harbor scene of Wellfleet Massachusetts, 16×20.” I told [...]
Evolving Locations
Published by February 14th, 2010 in Art, art teacher, Blog, Boston, fine art and painting on location. 0 CommentsAs I load more wood into the studio stove I think about my old friends walking through my paintings. A highlight-dot of color, is how I began to insert figures into my landscapes as a focal point. They were so vague and uncommitted, people would ask, “is that light spot a figure back there?” Over [...]
