Coastal Conversations


Hi everybody, welcome.



"Coastal Conversations" is just off the easel! It's 16" x 20" oil on canvas and is available.


When I think back on all of the amazing conversations I have had sitting with an ocean view and people I love - gratitude simply envelopes me. Perhaps you have been blessed this way as well?

This work was completed in my more painterly, gestural brush work range. It's a time I get to play with rough and smooth edges of things juxtaposed. The splashes of bright sunlight play off the shadows, the colors enriched by the saturation of light - nice and loose and easy like those coastal conversations!

I want to thank all of you who like, love, comment and share my art. Your input and collaboration are warmly welcomed and appreciated .

The Indian

Hi everybody, welcome.
This is an oil painting I just finished, it’s 30” x 40” commission called “The Indian,” that’s my patron’s title as it was the name of the horse when she purchased him from the actor Tab Hunter.
This is a woman who has owned horses most of her life and raised champion show dogs. When we met and I had a tour of her home I was stunned to find that she has a very comprehensive fine art print collection with some of the contemporary realist artists that have been my heroes since college. Like a singer with perfect pitch, regarding this type of realism her selection was spot on!
The Indian was a friend to her – descriptions and tales told in loving memory, both of The Indian and Tab Hunter makes a portrait of this nature a large idea to live up too.
Generally, for something of this caliber I take a day or a week – to photograph the subject until I capture what I want. In this instance the only reference material was one blown up 20” x 30” Kodachrome print, now faded and one 5” x 7” snapshot of the same pose which I took a picture of and had an 8 “ x 10” made and worked from that. She did not want ‘The old barn’ in the background and left it to me to create an environment for her friend.
My thought was, “Where would this horse love to be?” He’s a Paint so – the mesa, the foothills? I think he looks right at home.
I brought her over and she brought her grown lawyer son, (uh - oh), to my studio to review before heading into the final version which you see here. “I knew it would be good,” she said. “But this exceeds all my expectations!!” I love hearing that. And you know, “Holy Shit!!” another fav – lol!
Truly, the best part is seeing and feeling the contentment, happiness and joy when someone is connecting with the art whether it’s a commission or an existing painting. She once asked me, “What does it feel like to be that gifted and have your level of talent?” “First of all, gratitude, then responsibility,” is how I responded.
Yes, it is magical, it’s a high when you nail it, yes, at times inspired but no advancement happens, no accomplishment manifests without the focus, the discipline and the work. I always want to do as much with it, reach as many people as I can and I never feel like I have done enough.
Thanks for looking at my art today. If you are considering a commission send me a pm and let’s chat about it!

"Clouds At Play In The Skies Of Saint Augustine"

Hi everybody, welcome. 

"Clouds At Play In The Skies Of Saint Augustine" is my oil on canvas 16" x 20" and is available. 
Those of you who know me will recall that I am often the guy creating the path of the road less traveled - I see a little dirt road that I sense is heading to a secret spot and wow, one magically appears!! This was one such road that put in me in this little haven just as the sun was cresting over the eastern horizon - happier than the morning sun I was!

Rainy Day Rosies

Early Evening Summer Fun

Hi everybody, welcome.

"Early Evening Summer Fun" is 16" x 20" oil on canvas unframed.
Sometimes you could be out on the water for 6 hours and it would seem like 30 minutes.
Good waves, good rides, the sun, the color, the laughter, your friends and then you notice the sun is sinking in the western sky.
You remember suddendly that you are hungry and thirsty. These guys were done for the day, heading back home for some chow feeling that wonderful sense of pleasant exhaustion.
