A BREATH OF SALT AIR 

When viewing a screen image you can never fully realize the quality and subtlety of the pigments in an oil painting. There is so much more color sensation and wonder about how the paint functions when observing it in real life. This is what makes an original painting...

This spot is one of the most glorious on the East End. The first time I saw this explosion of color stretching out as far as the eye can see I was stunned. I could not believe such a place was right here on Amagansett, NY.  The entire farm was donated by Deborah Ann...

When the right painting finds the perfect space, the entire room takes on a magical quality. It's not something that you intellectualize or deliberate about. It is obvious when it happens. When the right combination occurs there is a vivid emotional reaction. It's...

  I'm beginning to understand and clarify why after painting traditionally for so long, I'm now motivated to paint abstractly. In abstraction, I find the opportunity to boil down all the elements I really care about in painting. It  always starts with the color. ...

Hi Everyone! Summer has started at a quick pace so we all need a spot to take a moment and reset our our pace, I know I do. I wanted to share one of my tranquil oil paintings that was featured in the Memorial Day issue of Beach Magazine.  This is truly one of my...

I've observed it so many times, the full moon just hanging in the atmosphere blazing brightly. The science we learned in school told us that the moon is 238,900 miles away.  We are told that man actually went there and walked on the surface. We've been told that here...

Have you had an intense, detailed and emotional phone conversation lately? I just did and I headed right to the ocean to reset. Being at the ocean works to calm me and clarify my thoughts every time. When I see a massive sky over the vast sea my breathing is...

Do you have a memory of the beach from your childhood? I was around 8 and with my Dad standing on the shoreline in Montauk, New York. The waves were pounding so loudly they were shattering my ears. I had seen the ocean before but this was different…..the waves must...

  Painting the ocean on this larger scale gives me such a thrill. It is a feeling parallel to being at the beach. I feel a positive emotion in the...

  Why do we love the beach so much? There is a unique quality experienced at the ocean, an encounter that has no substitute.  It is the essence of what my ocean paintings are about. First, there is the sound that you notice right away. The rhythmic pounding...

It's been a hot summer and the day I painted this at Balsam Farms in Amagansett was no exception.  I started the painting in the early morning. By the time I got my general composition down, the heat and humidity were bearing down but I shrugged it off. The wonderful...
