As a kid, our back yard was a large meadowy hill that was mowed each fall by a local farmer. Before the bales could be packed onto the back of a hay truck, my brothers and I would slide together the heavy square blocks to make a forts. I’m sure the farmer didn’t really enjoy taking apart our constructions, but the horses need to be fed. That meadow is now gone, replaced by classroom buildings that belong to the school our house was a part of. There are many local meadows that are mowed and baled every fall. This one is part of an educational farm next town over. “Autumn Hay” 48 x 36 o/c
With the recent snow, gray and cold up here in NH, I felt a bit of warm, bright morning weather would be welcomed. “Upland Morning” 24 x 24 o/c.
If you’re familiar with the old lighthouses along the New England coast, you’ve likely seen these small, humble structures. They tend to stand not too far from the light, or the keeper’s house, and are usually made of brick or stone…solid enough to withstand harsh coastal weather. From what I’ve been told and read, they were built to house the oil, or kerosene, used to to power these remote compounds. They are often overlooked, as they stand near the much more prominent, towering light, but I feel they have a charm worth capturing. “Oil House” 36 x 35 oil on canvas.
I love the remote, rugged landscapes of coastal Cape Cod. At any time of year, these barren stretches of sand, dunes, seagrass and scrub juniper are places of serenity, despite the harsh weather they are subjected to…which makes it so only the strongest can survive. “Windswept” 24 x 28 oil on canvas.

Light seems more concentrated and brighter when it gleams its way between things. The title for this piece pretty much came along when I first came across this scene, somewhere in Vermont. “Gleaming” 36 x 60 o/c.
I’ve painted this scene many times, from many different angles, in very different light. The one thing all those pieces have in common, and why I think I come back to this subject often, is the actual location is remote and peaceful. The barn does not appear connected to any farm, and there’s really no property nearby that it could be part. It’s by itself, in the middle of nowhere, seemingly content. “Serene” 24 x 24 o/c.
Came across this scene after turning onto a dirt road, off route 110 in Vermont, and caught a glimpse of the fiery red paintbrush bush and the rusty metal roof of the old shed. Painted it in a larger format a while back, but revisited it on this smaller canvas. “Meadowlight” 24 x 24 o/c.
On the way back from Vermont, heading South on Rt 89, in Grantham, NH, I passed the meadow where the subjects of a good number of paintings can (could once) be seen. Two twin barns sitting in the middle of a valley meadow, aging and abandoned for years. A few years ago, someone contacted me that one of them had fallen under heavy snow. On this trip back from Vermont, passing that meadow, the other barn was gone. It obviously succumbed to age and/or weather. All that was left was the empty golden meadow. This piece is based on one view of these structures, from when I first discovered them over a decade ago. “Monuments” 16 x 20 o/c.
This is the time of year when late fall and winter winds move dunes. This house is on the shore of Cape Cod Bay, in Dennis, and is almost never not submerged in the backside of a dune. As time goes on, seagrass takes root, which tends to lock the dune in place. “Seagreass” 16 x 20 o/c
