Artist Statement:
I have painted in oils and
acrylics for over 30 years. I
have always painted scenes
which hit me and demanded to
be painted. Mostly I paint
natural landscape. I don't try
to improve on nature, and try
to reflect the scene as I saw
it. I particularly like the
effects of light and shadow
and of contrasting cool and
warm color.
My landscape works are from
the Potomac River between
Alexandria and Great Falls
VA.' The Blue Ridge mountains,
Maryland Eastern Shore, and
some recent works from
Martha's Vineyard.
My most recent works are
townscapes, which are
exhibited and sold in
galleries in Gettysburg PA,
Easton MD, Leesburg MD, and
Alexandria VA.
There's an endless stream of
beautiful scenes to paint,
which change with time of day
and with season. I try to
capture the mood of the place,
and to make pictures that
people can recognise as places
they have seen or visited, but
seen in a more poetic
light....
