Landscape Study


This little study was done on left over pastel paper I found floating around my office drawer. I gave it a coating of matte medium to seal the porous surface and then drew out my scene with oils. Using a photo I took on vacation in central Pennsylvania I manipulated the colors after another painting's color scheme, a process used by many artists. Working during breaks I only had three small windows of time for basic exploration.

Pink Rose

SOLD
This was a small oil study completed in one morning. It's been awhile since I worked in oils and encountered some old problems I forgot about. White can be such a killer! It was accepted into the small oils show at the Philadelphia Sketch club and will be up for another week. I'm excited to work on the next one but will not be able to get to it until classes end in a few weeks.

Winter Garden

I created this based on the idea of seeing through the winter to springtime. It was published on the winter cover of GreenPrints magazine.

Rose Garden


I created this illustration for a client's poetry.  I'm thinking of taking it to final color.  Thanks for looking!
