As with any painting, the test is always how to interpret and edit the incoming visual information in order to successfully create a painting with personal style. Like anything worthwhile, accomplishment comes from observation, study and practice. You’ll find in my paintings a developed observational eye that sees the subtle difference, nuance and quality of light as it describes nature in a seascape, a forest or architectural structures found in small towns and big city streets.
Since 2000 I have been painting landscapes, the figure and portraits for local galleries in the historic art-centric location of New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ along the Delaware River. It was there that I became a veteran of many local, regional and national solo and group art exhibitions. I also participate in competitive plein air events taking me to nearly all the major plein air events on the East Coast from Richmond, VA to the New York Adirondacks. J.
