I paint water, mostly. The Chesapeake side of Maryland, the hour before the wind picks up, the particular grey the sky goes in February. I have been trying to get that grey right for a long time.
Oil, usually with cold wax, on panel or linen. The surface is built in layers and scraped back between each one, so what you end up seeing is partly the painting and partly everything underneath it. A large piece takes three to six weeks. A small study might take an afternoon.
Nothing is reproduced. Every painting on this site is the only one of itself, signed on the back, and it leaves the studio with a certificate recording the title, year, medium and dimensions.
Mostly from standing in the same places repeatedly and noticing what changes. I work from the water, from photographs I take badly on my phone, and from memory, which is the least reliable and usually the most useful.
Work is released here as it is finished. If something is listed as available it is genuinely available, and if you want to talk through size, framing or whether a piece suits a particular wall, write to me directly. I answer my own messages.
A receipt is on its way to your inbox. Your painting will be carefully packed and shipped within five business days, and you will get tracking as soon as it leaves the studio.
