I paint colorful outdoor landscapes. Whether working in the studio or en plein air my medium of choice is oil. Before painting, preparatory sketches or drawings in graphite, charcoal, ballpoint pen, or watercolor ease the way into the oil paintings which are executed using a palette knife and/or brushes. My art conveys a sense of energy through texture that stems from a wide variety of mark making.

"Sailing Away" - 6" x 8" - Oil on Panel. AVAILABLE. Second of two studies painted back-to-back on location in Lakeside, OH in July '08. I must confess that the first painting "8am Lakeside" was quickly removed from the easel and tossed to the ground in my excitement at having the chance to do a painting with this striped sail in it! Looking at the weather in this painting, who would have known that I rushed to finish this before the skies opened up and rain poured down, filling the easel with water. But the painting was safe. Selected for exhibition in the "OPAS at the Schumacher Gallery", Capital U, Bexley, OH 2008 OPAS exhibition. Opens Oct. 28; Artist's Reception: November 14 - 5 to 7PM. Copyright 2008.
