EVENING DESCENT

Oil on panel

11 x 14 inches

I tried to capture the richness of color brought

on by the sun setting down behind the

mountains within view of my studio.

"MISTY GLOW"

2009-10-07T09:10:00.008-04:00

Oil on panel

Image size: 5 x 7 inches

As Autumn begins to set in I thought I would extend Summer a little, (if only in my mind) by painting a few lush scenes. Very soon the landscape will change from shades of green to vivid shades of gold and then I'll be inspired to change the colors on my palette. In the meantime, we can enjoy what's left of the Summer landscape.

Original Watercolor Painting

Image size: 5 x 7 inches

I've been working on an oil painting for a number of days and I thought I would take a break and paint a watercolor. I came across a photo I had taken of this bright, translucent sky and I knew that watercolor would be the perfect medium for this work.

2009-01-14T06:54:00.011-05:00

Watercolor Painting on 300 lb. Fabriano paper

Image size: 5 x 7 inches

The extreme warm weather has driven me to paint a nice, warm Summer scene. And since willows and water are two of my favorite things to paint, I've made them part of this painting.

"EVENING SOLITUDE"

2009-01-08T18:16:00.001-05:00

"Evening Solitude"

watercolor painting

Image Size: 5 x 7 inches

One of my all time favorite things to paint is a single tree out in the middle of a snow covered field, standing stately against the backdrop of an evening sky. When a lone tree is out there by itself, it almost seems to scream "look how beautiful I am".

"WINTER PRELUDE"

2009-01-05T16:42:00.001-05:00

Original Watercolor Painting
on 300 Lb. Arches watercolor paper
Image size: 5 x 7 inches

Sometime in late October into November when the leaves are turning and falling, you come across trees that have already shed their leaves, showing off their Winter beauty and giving us a glimpse of the coming season. The contrastof the bare trees against the Autumn colors can be so striking.

"Grand Entrance"
Original Watercolor Painting
on 300 Lb. Arches watercolor paper
Image size: 5 x 7 inches

I saw this door on the grounds of Longwood
Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. I'm always drawn
to architectural structures including the weathered
and worn types such as this. Although this door is in
need of paint and repair, to me anything draped
in Ivy somehow has a certain gracefulness and
beauty to it.

"Perfect Ending"
Original Watercolor Painting
on 300 Lb. Arches watercolor paper
Image size: 5 x 7 inches

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to squeeze in
one last painting for 2008. So I thought it would be
appropriate to create a sunset scene which marks the end
of the day, to commemorate the end of another year.

Happy New Year,

"HEAVY SKY"

2008-05-29T13:12:00.005-04:00

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.

2008-05-26T12:20:00.002-04:00

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.

"DAY'S END (STUDY)"

2008-05-20T17:10:00.004-04:00

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"

2008-05-12T16:01:00.004-04:00

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"

2008-05-03T18:14:00.005-04:00

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.
