These paintings are part of an ongoing series that I am working on and they are always being added to. This gallery will be updated often.--Enjoy!

Three Boats: Sunset Over Lake Champlain

The painting to the right was created in 2005. I was experimenting with an impressionist style. I was inspired by the greats like Monet and Pissaro whose work I have gone to see in museums. The subject of the peice was based on some photography that I did in Burlington at Lake Champlain.

A Sea of Daffodills.

The picture to the right is a huge peice with an enormous thick and heavy ornate frame. The inspiration to do this peice came from my ripping an image that I liked off of a hospital wall. When I took it home, I painted a picture of it. This work of art took me a month to complete.

Springtime In New England.

I did this painting the same way as above, except with this particular peice, I made up a fictitious landscape that was based on a stack of color photos that I took in Northampton, Massachussetts. I took the shots with a 35 mm. Canon Rebel EOS G 2000.

Still-Life Study

I painted these still-life images in my Painting class at Greenfield Community College. I felt that this peice was what made me want to be a painter because I found that I liked the style that I was naturally painting in. Also, some of this peice is somewhat similar to some of the impressionist work that I am inspired by.

Still Life: Flowers Erupt in The Studio.

This particular still-life painting took me about 3 months to complete. I started this one in the studio at G.C.C. as well and I finished it up like a couple of years later when I moved to Vermont.

Sunset Over Lake Champlain

This is another sunset photo-related painting that I did of Lake Champlain. Sometimes the sky gets so many hues of reds and auburns that the entire landscape becomes infused with the glow of these colors. While such a thing is quite impossible to paint, it is fun to try, anyways. I had a lot of fun painting this one.

A Vessel of Hope Amidst Five Opposing Forces

This is an entirely different style altogether. I never really pursued this imagery too much. I guess that it is not really my thing.

Just Walkin' Down A Country Lane

This particular piece has been based upon the photographs that I have been taking in New England during the Falltime.

Walkin' Down A Country Lane.

This piece is almost the same as the one above except I was trying for something that was not quite so wide. I thought that I would get a better perspective on these pieces were I to continue with several different sizes and in so doing, I would figure out where I wanted to go with these particular paintings.

Three Boats: Sunset Over Lake Champlain II

This is the continuing study of the previous painting. I wanted to study this one further in some vain attempt to understand exactly what it was exactly that it was that fascinated me about this particular scenery.

I do not really feel that this will lead anywhere until I have already striven to experiment with at least 25 different color combinations.

Sunset Over Lake Champlain III

Here is a view of the previous piece. In this one, there is more emphasis on the violet and blue spectrum of the scene as opposed to the earlier focus on auburns and reds.

Sunset Over Lake Champlain IV.

This piece is supposed to be about the sky and the way that it looks right before the sun finally sets. That twilight moment right before the night comes on.

THREE BOATS OF AZURE NIGHT.

This painting is based on a series of pictures that I took in 2005 while I was in Burlington Vermont.

TWO SAILS

This is another painting that is based on a photo that I took while in Burlington.

I took a lot of artistic liberties with this one as the sky did not come out as expected in the photograph and the sails were in the process of turning around, so this one was a bit tougher than the others.

Originally, I named this one, "TWO BACKWARDS SAILS".

TWO BOATS UNDER A PURPLE SUNSET

Here is another sunset pic that is based on the color of the sky at the exact moment before all light is extinguished and night's darkness finally sets in.

I painted this from memory because I did not actually posess enough 'luck' as it were to catch a photo of this scene when it was all purple.

AN INFUSION OF VIOLET

This particular sunset is an attempt to portray what happens when a foreign color begins to fuse with the other clouds.
