Studio Updates
New: “Spring Budding”
In the local meadows and fields around our town, there’s a period of a five or six days when the buds of maple and oak trees catch the late day sun and give them an almost autumn feel. “Spring Budding” 30 x 40 o/c
New: “Grounded”
As I was completing this piece, considering a title, the composition reminded me of childhood memory when a section of barge washed ashore in Buzzard’s Bay, coming to rest on the beach behind our house. It had been swept up above high tide line, and stayed there for years, until another storm eventually took it
New: “Atlantic Overlook” study
New smaller piece, done as a study for larger canvas. “Atlantic Overlook”
New: “Open Air”
It’s almost that time of year where you open the windows and doors to let the Spring air in. “Open Air” 48″ x 48″ o/c
New: “Side Road”
Whenever I’m out in the country, looking for inspiration, I tend to get intentionally lost, as doing so usually leads me to places I’d never find otherwise. I always find my way back, and always find what I’m looking for. “Side Road” 36 x 48 o/c

New: “High Water Line”
It might only be March, but it feels almost like this outside today…”High Water Line” o/c
New: “Beach Walk”
Having grown up spending summers on Cape Cod, on Scraggy Neck–a small , almost-island overlooking Buzzard’s Bays–days were lazy and spent racing barefoot down the hot sand dune path to the beach where we’d run/hop straight to the water to cool our feet. “Beach Walk” 30 x 40 o/c
New: “Beach Fence”
Every fall, fencing is installed on the beaches along the north and south coast of Cape Cod in an effort to control drifting sand whipped around by strong ocean and bay winds. This small section was recently added to a small section of beach that faces Nantucket Sound. I know from walking this beach many
