Mack

I recently finished this commission piece titled "Mack." I've been really mixing up my subject matter over the past year - from still life to animals, and pretty much everything in between.

Pears

A pear study in pastel.

Avalon Dunes

Well, as you can see, it's been a while since my last post. I moved to a new home and didn't realize how much work is involved! It was good to finally pick up my pastels again and get back to work. I was able to get away recently for a long weekend to my favorite beach in Avalon, New Jersey and found new inspiration in this, a simple fence line on the dunes. I love walking along the beach at sunset with all those long, deep shadows that are created. What better time of year to paint the beauty of our shores than the beginning of summer!

My new website

Thank you for visiting my site. My goal for this blog is to post works in progress and share my inspiration for creating art. This picture of Fiaschetteria was taken in Florence, Italy which has been of great inspiration to me. Not only was it the location of the best meal that I have ever had but it was where I found the motivation to begin painting again. What else could I do with the hundreds of photographs I took of Italy?
