Winnicut River Walk

On Saturday, May 15, I will be at the Weeks Brick House and Gardens, showing some of my paintings and prints in conjunction with the Winnicut River Walk inagural opening in Greenland, NH. The event will be from 10 AM to 2 PM next Saturday. If you're in the area please come by and say hi.

Perhaps a Cliche?

This is perhaps a cliche but I wanted to do something contemplative with spiritual conotations for the upcoming season.

An 8 by 10 inch, oil pastel "In His Hands".

Latest Oil Pastel

It has been a long time since I created a monochrome painting. The reference was of a frightened or disturbed horse. I felt a black and white color scheme would create a painting of drama.

This painting is 8 inches by 10 inches with oil pastels.

A couple more Oil Pastels

I'm still working with Oil Pastels. The first painting 11 by 14 inches of one of the fountains in Prescott Park, Portsmouth, NH. The second painting is of a sojourn in Bancock, Thailand, also 11 by 14 inches Oil Pastel.

Aviation Photos

I've been putting some of my old aviation slides into my computer and I thought I would share a few.

The T34, the first aircraft I ever flew.

T33 my last training aircraft

The Red Apple

I've been working more with oil pastels. The results are like an oil painting but in stick form. I'm coming to like them the more I use them.

I love pastels but I've been trying to avoid the dust that necessairly gets spread around the studio.

This painting is on archival canvas panel, with black gesso infused with marble dust. Marble dust provides a good tooth for the pastels and is a little easier on the fingers when blending than pumice in the gesso.

Still Life Anvil

It's been awhile since I've been active. Health issues of the aging.

I'm continuing to work with oil pastels and completed this still life for the Guys out there.

Let's give a cheer for the blacksmiths and metal workers.

The original painting is an 11 by 14 inches, canvas moutned on hardboard.

Due to health issues, I've had to miss my last two art fairs.
