About this painting:

I am very fortunate to have scenes like this within a twenty minute drive from my house. I never tire of viewing and painting marshlands... they are so peaceful for me.

About this painting:
Twice a month three of my artist friends gather to paint at my place. We call ourselves the "four brush-ka-teers". The responsibility of bringing a still life to paint from life is rotated amongst the brush-ka-teers. This still life will appeal to all the boaters out there... especially those who took time to save up enough dough for their dream boat.

About this painting:

This scene is set in the small coastal town of Swansboro, North Carolina. I was itching to get out and plein air paint... somewhere... anywhere. I called a couple of plein air pards and we decided to converge on Bicentennial Park in downtown Swansboro. I went to the early service at church and arrived in Swansboro around noon. On the way I passed through a drenching downpour but was determined to paint even if it meant finding shelter to do so. Surprisingly enough the rain skirted around us all day with the exception of a few drops here and there. I used the Zorn limited palette for this painting... it worked well for the overcast look of the day. The Zorn palette (often used by artist and namesake Anders Zorn) consists of Yellow Ochre, Cad Red, Ivory Black (with a tad of Ultramarine Blue) and Titanium White. This scene is set looking across the White Oak River towards Clyde Phillips fish house from the coastal town of Swansboro.

About this painting:
This pair of ballet point shoes was painted from life in my studio. I loved the challenge presented by the lights and darks, form, and shadows. There is something classical and peaceful about an old pair of ballet shoes... "Waiting for the Recital" seems to be a perfect title for this painting.

Everyday objects painted from life is the essence of the "Painting a Day" art movement that is gaining momentum in the art collecting market.
