A BREATH OF SALT AIR 

  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...

Here is the other painting that is included in Paton Miller's East End Collected 5 at the Southampton Arts Center  April 20-June 9. It has been interesting to come out about my passion for creating this series of Abstract Oil Paintings. Most people know my Seascape...

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...
