For Rent


Bird houses are like rental properties without the legal mess. Birds are supposed to live there, rent free, and eat all of the bird seed provided without having to do much else.   Then when the weather gets bad, they just go south...sounds like the life.

Baltimore Harbor Tunnel North


I pass through the northbound entrance to the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel on my way home virtually every day.  If the southbound entrance gets out of your way, the northbound entrance welcomes you home with its giant outstretched arms.

Sunny Side Up


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so I decided to end the series with another breakfast scene.

Overpass


I like how the overpass frames the lights off in the distance. It leads the viewer to a little escape...

This painting is 9" x 12" oil on hardboard.

Two Halves

This month's egg theme continues with this broken Cadbury Creme Egg. This candy reminds us that Spring is near. They are only available during this time of the year, so this was a special treat to both eat AND paint.  It is painted on 6 x 6 gessoed illustration board.

Winter Sunrise


Have you ever taken the time to appreciate the pretty colors that occur during sunrise? Some people are not awake during this time and others, who are awake, do not take the time to really look at how beautiful the sky looks as the sun rises.

Baltimore Harbor Tunnel South


The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel is a beautiful example of post-war American architecture. The buildings are set off to the side in a gesture that almost says "I know you have some place to be, why don't you go ahead."

This is 9 x 12 on hardboard. Please call me, email me, or click here if you'd like to buy this painting.

Cadbury Creme Egg


Yummy! This is the second egg painting in the series. Doesn't it look good enough to eat?  It is painted on 6 x 6 gessoed illustration board.

Intersection


 I enjoy the details of this painting. At first glance, you do not notice the houses off in the distance, because the brightness of the headlights demands your attention.  Upon further examination of the painting, you are able to enjoy all of its details.  This is 9 x 12 on hardboard.

Main Line


This painting captures the feeling of a secluded place. For a moment, you forget that you’re at a stop sign. I like how your eye immediately looks at the red sign and then travels to the rest of the painting.

McDonald's Breakfast

 

This month's theme is eggs, so let's kick it off with a good breakfast! I think I accurately captured each essence of a fast food breakfast from the hash brown's texture to the cheese crumbs sticking to the paper.  MMMMM!

Social Classes

 

When I arranged this pair of boxes I was only interested in the warm and cool colors. I was struck by how it represented daily life. Maybe you are the cardboard box, working to support luxury either at home or for somebody else. Maybe you're the Tiffany box and you're being supported by somebody that loves you.

Atlantic City in the Morning

 

When I think of Atlantic City, I remember the lights, large casinos, gambling, shows and buffets.  It is easy to forget how different and desolate the city appears when you wake up.  This painting was inspired from looking outside my hotel window on my most recent trip to Atlantic City


This painting is 9 x 12 oil on hardboard.

Red Barn



I thought I would include one more red series painting. I like how the red barn in the distance is not as obvious as the focal point of the painting. I feel it is similar to my other barn paintings with the snow in this way.  This was a commissioned painting so it is already sold, but I hope you still enjoy looking at it.  It is 5 x 7 on canvas panel.
