South Rim View / Grand Canyon 2025


As with the painting below, this one came out of a wonderful trip to Zion and the Grand Canyon a few years ago. To say it was inspirational, well, those that have been there know what I’m talking about. I very much enjoyed painting the great colors and contrasts.  Accomplishing the atmospheric effect of distance is a fun aspect and challenge for any artist. I have several more large canvases planned to start soon.

This painting is for sale, and I'll have it reproduced as same size, and as a reduction.  Framing can be arranged. I’ll be happy to hear from you about this. The frame in this photo is a virtual frame.

Oil on fine linen, 36 by 48 inches.

Yellow Lesser Goldfinch, Grand Canyon / South Rim

After a fall trip to Zion and the north rim and south rims of the Grand Canyon, I was very inspired after such a spectacular tour. This painting is a view found close to the South Rim Lodge, and naming it seems irrelevant to me (and irreverent), so I’ve decided to name it after the pretty yellow Lesser Goldfinch, which is one of the inhabitants of the canyon rim. Just one living creature can be seen in the vast space and variety of material represented besides the many forms of plant life in the desert, a tiny bird included at the bottom left.


I’ve enjoyed making this painting and loved the range of color in the many details I noticed from the painting process. Painting it with an eye to being faithful to the reality of the place offers a sort of respect, a reckoning of every layer and rock that I can see, and honoring the time and natural processes that occurred in the making of this amazing canyon--if you will.

What more can be said? My painting will provide a patron the ongoing thrill of reckoning our lives as incredible and lucky timing to get to see such things and to somewhat comprehend the scale of time and geology of this amazing planet. Every time this painting is seen a new thing will be understood and appreciated.

This painting is for sale and available framed or unframed, and I can assist with any framing requirement. The frame seen is merely a virtual creation, and for example.

CIRCE INVIDIOSA after Waterhouse



A recent nocturne after the famous Waterhouse painting of Circe Invidiosa. This is a small oil, 12”x24”, and a piece I made for my deceased buddy Paul, a former housemate. Paul mentioned this painting as a favorite and I considered copying it accurately, but I much prefer my nocturne. Paul liked it, too, and got to enjoy my painting for a short while before his death. I wish we had much more time together, we would have done a lot of hiking and exploring. Too bad!

Castle Hill Lighthouse


Here's my latest underway, a 12x24 inch oil of the Castle Hill Lighthouse. There's more to do, some foreground work and the fishing boat, some fussing here and there. I'm happy with it. What do you think?

Beach at Oceanwind


This is a private beach in Newport, Rhode Island, a place I get to visit frequently. It's different every time, beautiful to observe as the sea and sky change. The beach is all stones, each polished and rounded from eons of washing and movement. It's not for sale, but a gift for a friend, and I just wanted to show it to you.

The Wreck at Beaver Tail Lighthouse


My painting of The Wreck at Beaver Tail Lighthouse

This lighthouse is a fun place to visit, especially on a day with high surf. It's at the south end of Jamestown, RI, at the west edge of the Newport Harbor entrance. Here I've imagined a small craft that got loose or wrecked somehow on the jagged rocks A shipwreck must have happened several times?

Sachuest Point Park



Here is a finished view of Sachuest Point Park in Newport, RI. I'm very happy with it! There's a bench near the southern tip of the park and trail, on the east side, so this view is as one would be looking to the northeast.

It's a lovely place to walk, and the rocky coast offers many interesting vistas.

A Private Beach View


A fine start of a 12" by 24" oil of a private beach view, on the east side of Newport, RI. There's more to do once it dries, but I'm happy with this image.
