Away in a Manger

6" x 8", oil on canvas panel. $125 USD. I think this one needs a better title ;-) Based on a photo reference I took during the summer at a small goat farm near my house. I'm pretty sure this was a mother and "kid".

Harbour Seal

6" x 8", oil on canvas panel. This little guy was posing for photos in Monterey Bay during my trip out there in September. There are harbour seals all over the place in that area. This particular one was hanging out on an old bouy as our boat was on it's way out to the open water to look for whales. Great trip!

woodland stream

22" x 28", oil on canvas. $1,500 USD. Unframed.

This just off the easel. It is based on a reference photo I took while hiking in the woods in Chester County, PA. I find moving and falling water very challenging. In fact this one took a lot longer than I thought it would.

Arizona Canyon

8" x 10", oil on board. $180 USD

Based on a photo reference I took in Arizona during my trip to Sedona. I think this was a canyon about 10 miles outside Sedona where my wife and I took a hot air balloon ride. What an amazing experience!

Morning Glow

6" x 6", oil on canvas $85

3 Gulls

6" x 8", oil on board. $125 USD

This painting is based on a reference photo taken last September at Cape Henlopen, DE.

"Colors of Spring"

5" x 5", oil on board $100

This is based on a photo I took at an arboretum. The butterfly was just sitting there with his wings open for several minutes as if it was waiting for me to get the shot :)

Temple of Poseidon

36" x 48", Acrylic on canvas $1,500

This is the fourth painting I've created in two weeks for a new Greek restaurant that is opening soon (mid-April) in my area..."Freskada Mediterranean Kusina", Exton, PA. This painting is also for sale...so if you are interested in purchasing it or a smaller print of it please contact me.

Church Road

12" x 24", oil on canvas

This sleepy Autumn morning scene is inspired by a photo I took from my car while driving near my house (on Church Road, Charlestown PA). There was something about the way the sun was lighting up the tree tops that caught my attention and made me pull over.

Greek Steps - final version

6' x 6' mural on canvas

Greek Steps

6" x 6" oil on masonite, NFS

This is a mini study i did yesterday morning in preparation for a large painting I'm planning on doing for a Greek restaurant. The finished painting will be 6' x 6' ! It will be a major focal point upon entering the restaurant and also an advrtisement for my future commissions (I will be able to hang a prominent plaque under the painting displaying my contact info). I'll post the finished painting when I'm done.

my latest pet portrait...

This pet portrait was just completed for a client. It measures 30" square and is based on several reference photos that were melded into one scene. The lighter colored dog is a yellow lab and the reddish colored one is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Sadly, neither are with us anymore...thus the desire for the portrait. I hope I did them justice and am happy to contribute to honoring their memory...I'm convinced dogs are God's gift to us to remind us that we are loved unconditionally ;)

Valley Forge locals

8"x10", oil on canvas panel; $195 USD

Snapped a photo last winter in Valley Forge park after an 8" snowfall. The deer are extremely tame and used to people so you can get quite close before they start slowly moving away.

wave study

6"x8" oil on canvas panel. $125 USD

Violet Light

6"x8", oil on canvaspanel; $125 USD

Inspired by a photo I took just before sunrise at Cape Henlopen, Delaware.
