Pemaquid Lighthouse


Pemaquid Lighthouse
22"x28"
Oil on stretched canvas
$750

This painting has been keeping me busy in the studio for the past few weeks.  It's been a lot of fun painting it, although I will admit that the the white fence, lighthouse and buildings had me really worried about how to bring out the details and still capture the essence of the scene.  I am really happy with how it came out.  And it looks even better in person.

This young woman was spotted at a motorcycle rally in the Midwest getting her body painted.  The photo was taken by my friend Kerry, who graciously granted me permission to paint it and supplied the image.

Apple Pickin' Time

Apple Pickin' Time
18"x24"
Oil on stretched canvas
$250.00 plus shipping

Lots of fun to paint these apples and leaves.  Used a few different techniques to get the look I wanted.  Painted mostly alla prima, but used additional layers of glazing on the background and leaves to get the shading I was looking for.

It was worth taking the time to do a smaller painting first, which you can see here.

TOBOR

"TOBOR"
18"x24"
Oil on canvas panel
SOLD

This commissioned painting was a birthday surprise.  The person who commissioned the painting sent me a photo of himself with the dog, but didn't realize that he would be included in the painting.  But who was going to support the dog, I asked?

I would love to do a pet commission for you.  Drop me a note and we can discuss specifics.
