This painting is a roadside scene near my house. It has been very hot and humid lately and I hoped to capture that feeling in this country landscape.

NOLA Balcony

This painting is based on a photo I snapped in New Orleans a couple of years ago. I was intrigued by how charming a deteriorating facade could look!

King Henry's Swans

8" x 10" (20.3cm x 25.5cm), oil on canvas board
$200 USD

This painting was inspired by a trip to England that my wife and took a few years ago. I recently found this photo that I took while touring Leed's Castle, once a summer residence of King Henry VIII. This castle is located in the English countryside south of London and the estate is soooo quiet and peaceful, with a large hedge maze and sugar mill that highlight the premises. If you ever go to London I recommend a day trip to Leeds Castle.
