Winthrop Square, Boston

After studying both Joseph Zbukvic and Alvaro Castagnet watercolors and watching their DVDs, I'm  trying to break away from my old habits. This painting, "Red Pants" of Winthrop Square in Boston, MA plus the previous entry, Post Office Square "Spring Steps" is the beginning of a new journey for me.

Post Office Square - Boston

Painted in plein air, my son and I had a perfect Spring day in downtown Boston. He's on the park bench sketching.

Quiet Morning

Prudence Solitude

Late afternoon on Prudence Island. Those long afternoon shadows never cease to amaze me.

Anxious Arrivers

The 3:30 p.m. Prudence Island ferry arrives from Bristol. I caught this scene during a recent trip to the island while completing a commissioned work.

Safe Harbor

Every year I donate a watercolor to my scuba club, the OCA Amphibians. The prizes are raffled off during our annual banquet with the proceeds going towards our New Year's Day "Treasure Hunt" Dive. These Chatham, MA fishing boats, sitting in extremely still water, caught my eye.

1949 Packard Station Sedan

Just completed this 1949 Packard Station Sedan for a gentleman who owns this gorgeous wagon and lives at this lakeside home.

Norfolk Golf Club, Hole No. 5

1941 Cadillac

The owner of this classic 1941 Cadillac, Series 60 commissioned me to create a period scene of his car visiting an Adirondack Resort. Fun assignment as I love cars!

The Sunny Side of the Street

An afternoon view of North Street in Plymouth, MA. Size: 13.5 x 19.5, watercolor.

"Ted"

My father-in-law, Ted, was out back reading the Globe at his beach house during a warm fall afternoon when I captured this image. It almost became a study in greens given his sweatshirt, chair, table and surrounding landscape.

One Way

Inspired during a hot summer day, I was amused with all the cyclists riding the wrong way down this one way street in Provincetown.

Commercial Street

Those vivid clear summer days inspired me to capture this scene on Commercial Street in P-Town.

Fin Fun

Inspired at the marina where we dock our boat, Fin Fun is a half-sheet sized watercolor. I tried to capture a passing storm to the west while the sun was still shining towards the south.

Let's Go Diving

This is a small work I donated to my scuba club for a dive-related raffle. It's a popular spot for divers and frequented quite often by my dive colleagues.

Up to the Fairview

From Green Harbor, MA. I love the way the light hits these summer homes in the early morning.

Sunrise, Zeek's Creek

From the collection of Mr. and Mrs. John Stanford

Charles River, Millis, MA

This bridge over the Charles River in Millis is about to be demolished and replaced with a new span.

El Matador

I painted this scene "plein air" at El Matador Beach north of Malibu with my son Nathaniel.

Red Cooler

Watercolor

Harborview

Providence Harbor from the East Side.

There's the Sun!

Winter Squall (oils)

I'm trying oils for the first time since 10th grade. It's fun but very different thinking process compared to watercolors.

Frostbitten

This was an amazing race just after some nasty clouds had passed. It was very windy and chilly!
This painting won "Best in Show" at the Bristol Art Museum, Sailing on the Bay show, Spring 2012.
