On a trip to Europe a few years ago I took photo of this field. It had long shadows crossing it from trees along the edge of the field. I thought it would make an interesting painting.

While on a European trip we were traveling over a very hilly area. It had been raining and I was just saying to myself “wonderful view, to bad it’s raining’. Just as we came reached the top of the ridge, there, in front of me, was the sun peaking through the clouds illumination the valley floor below with beams of sunlight. Two quick photos captured the moment.
SUNDAY MORNING IN CLINTON
$1,100
Framed Original: 29” x 21”
This painting was inspired by a photo taken by local photographer, Donna Johnson Buckley. Her photo was used for the cover of the Town of Clinton 2018-2019 Annual Report. When we spoke, I told her it reminded me of the quiet Sunday mornings we have here along the Connecticut shoreline.
EVENING SWELLS
Available At Center Framing & Art Gallery, West Hartford, CT.
Framed Original: 30” x 24”
Sometimes when the moon is full, and your timing is just right, you can see sea swells illuminated as their foam glows in the moonlight. Such was the case when I did this painting. I had two evening reference photo’s and couldn’t make up my mind as to which I should use. So , using a little artistic creativity, I combined them both and with a few tweaks we have Evening Swells.
CHECKING THE POTS
$1,200
Framed Size 23x24
Fulltime Lobstering is a lot of repetitive work. Lobster pots need to be checked every other day and rebaited as necessary. It’s not unusual for lobsters to escape from a pot so when checked the pots are often found empty of bait and lobster.
WAITING (OIL)
$1,900
Framed size: 18 x 34
Many little coves dot the banks of the Connecticut River. It’s not uncommon to find small boats moored in them. This is a view looking east from one of those little coves on the western bank of the river.
SAILING AT THE SURF CLUB (OIL)
$2,200
Framed Size 26 x 32
One of the wonderful benefits of living in a shoreline community is its access to the water. Surf Club beach is one of several beautiful beaches here in Madison. One of its features is a dedicated area for Hobie Cats and other types of small water craft. My son owned a Hobie Cat that we kept down at the beach. It was always available for a fun day of sailing. Memories of those wonderful days on the water with my son inspired me to do this painting.
