Figurative Paintings
For many years I considered myself to be primarily a plein air landscape painter. Not so, any longer. I am now spending way more time in my studio - so I can devote myself to more careful, thoughtful design and craftsmanship, leading ultimately to a higher level of expression. I have a new fascination with the human figure, and I take great pleasure in creating compositions with multiple figures, combining and cropping them in intriguing and often surprising ways, and telling just enough - but not all of - the story. Here is a selection of my new, figurative, studio watercolors.
Landscape Paintings
I have been a passionate “plein air” painter for many years, and take tremendous pleasure from painting outdoors. I love to set up my easel in parks or gardens, on street corners or on the beach. I also enjoy painting landscapes in the comfort of my studio. Here is a selection of plein air and studio landscape paintings, including architecture, gardens, and the great outdoors.
Still Life and Floral Paintings
I enjoy arranging objects for a closer look. Playing with visual relationships, lighting, and shadows is endlessly fascinating, and I find that the more I look, the more I see and appreciate shapes, colors and textures. And then there are those "found" still lifes, out there in the world, which I can only manipulate on my paper ... a whole new set of challenges.
