New Tabletop Easels Available

Those 3 new easels have sold out - more coming very soon.

"Chill Wind" & "Abstracted"

6 x 6"
oil on masonite
sold

Early last week, there came a point where I couldn't paint another thing and just had to take a break - so we took a mini-roadtrip to Aiken, South Carolina and went to the Steeplechase. For a small town, it was quite a big event - #12 was a beautiful horse named Chill Wind. About twenty minutes after the first race the thunderstorms rolled in and we were outtathere - but it was fun. Nice to get away.

Getting back to painting, I had to start with a loose one - thought it would a good opportunity to join forces and donate 50% of the final sale of this painting to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake & Pacific Tsunami, so I would appreciate your bids.


Worth mentioning, the Daily Paintworks group has organized The Help Japan Challenge, including an on-site auction where artists are donating the final sales to several charities.

I will donate 100% of the final sale of this painting, 'Abstracted'.

I had just posted 3 brand-new tabletop easels - they have SOLD OUT. More will be available soon.

"On The Road #3"

4 x 4"

There are scenes that I long to paint but I know will take me days. I don't have that kind of patience. Trying them out 'small' is satisfying enough. Take a skyline like this - incredibly daunting to just map it out correctly and paint it on a larger scale. Maybe someday. What I know is what I felt when I was there - the painting in my head. A kaleidoscope of blues, aquas, greys, lavenders making up an almost-abstract composition. So very cool.

This view was taken from across the East River, from Brooklyn Heights Park, looking onto Lower Manhattan right at the start of Fleet Week last May.

"On The Road #2"

Another landscape taken from a beautiful day driving around Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

"On The Road #1"

4 x 4"

sold

I feel this need, almost every day, to put aside these more-realized paintings and loosen up with something small. I'm gonna try that for a while. For one, it keeps me sane - and two, I've got several road trips ahead of me that I'm hoping to save up for.

This scene is from some of the most beautiful farmland in Pennsylvania, around Lancaster County - where a good bit of working Amish farms add to the charm.

"Abraham Lincoln"

5 x 7"
oil on masonite
sold

After a long day of painting, I guess I had a little juice left in me - so I joined in on the current Daily Paintworks challenge to paint Abraham Lincoln, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I know you haven't seen much current work - I'm painting new pieces for an upcoming solo show. And for a little while, it's under wraps. Drives me nuts.

"It's Subjective"

9 x 12"
oil on masonite
sold

A new piece - taken from New York's Museum of Modern Art, a couple looking at Mark Rothko's 'No. 2/No. 13'.
