"HEAVY SKY"

Oil on panel
8 x 10 inches

This painting conveys the drama created when dark clouds hang over a bright horizon. This is one of the many new paintings I will be exhibiting at my upcoming shows.

Also . . .

I am working on releasing some new limited editions, and I have a number of images I'm considering but I'm still in the choosing stage. Obviously it's not possible to reproduce every painting, and it is often difficult for an artist to decide which painting is a good candidate for a limited edition. So if one of my paintings speaks to you more than the others, I would be interested in knowing if you have a favorite. I'm always interested in knowing why a particular piece draws more attention than others I've created. Of course, I know it's a matter of personal preference and taste, so I always appreciate your continued interest in my work, whether it's one piece or many!

If you have the opportunity to attend any of my upcoming exhibits, I look forward to showing you my latest works.

"HAWK MOUNTAIN RETREAT"

Oil on panel
16 x 20 inches

Located along the Appalachian Flyway in east-central Pennsylvania, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is one of the best places in the northeastern United States to watch the annual hawk migration in the Fall. A couple of my dear friends invited me to their beautiful property along the mountain, so I recently had an opportunity to get away and enjoy nature at its best. This is a bucolic scene from one of the many pictures taken during my visit. Although I painted this in honor of my friend's birthday, it is such a peaceful place I thought I would share it with you.

"AUTUMN DISPLAY"

Oil on panel
5 x 7 inches

There are so many vibrant colors in the leaves of Autumn and this tree seemed to have all of them. Occasionally I feel the need to paint a bright, sunny scene like this one.

"DAY'S END (STUDY)"

Oil on panel
5 x 7 inches

This is a study for a larger painting I'm working on. The inspiration comes from one of the many sunset photos I've taken on my many trips to the Florida Keys. This particular scene is at Mallory Square in Key West. If you've ever been there as the sun sets, you know what a magical experience it is.

"CLOUD BREAK"

Oil on panel
18 x 24 inches

Vivid skies against an open landscape is a familiar theme in many of my paintings. This is another one of those scenes I captured in my travels that I just knew would become a painting some day.

This is one of a number of paintings I'm currently working on for my upcoming Spring shows. To view a list of these shows where you can view my latest paintings please visit http://studiocc.com/pages/Exhibition_Schedule.htm.

"LEMON ON LIME"

Oil on panel
5 x 7 inches

I love landscapes but I also have an
affinity for still life paintings.
This is a visually simple piece but I liked the
lemon wedge against the white bisque dish
and lime tablecloth. I will proably always
use "Mother Nature" as my prime
source of inspiration, but every now and
then I like to paint other subjects that I
find to be every bit as interesting and
challenging. As an artist, I find there are
so many things I'd love to paint,
yet so little time. I hope you enjoy the
first still life of my Smalll Painting Series.
