Fine Art I have been taking painting lessons since 2004, mostly during the winter after moving to Gloucester, and found that I had the ability to become adept in an art form that did not involve digital tools. Because my life as a graphic designer is mostly involved with computer related tasks, thankfully painting does not, (except for showing them here.) To inquire about availability of the paintings for sale, please contact me at the email address above. I am no longer connected to a gallery and appreciate your inquiries. |

| 818 PEARL STREET, KEY WEST: A wonderful mid-winter vacation on Key West in Florida gave me an appreciation for a side of that state which is nearly paradise. I took many photographs of the quaint architecture, but this one of the house we stayed in is my favorite. Watercolor. SOLD | REALLY SKATING: This watercolor waspainted from memory and my imagination. I spent many fridgid afternoons and early mornings in ice rinks, watching my son skate as a child. The way skilled skaters glide around the ice is mezmerizing. (If I were in this scene I'd be one of the people just learning to find my legs!) SOLD | SUNSET AT PIRATE'S LANE: A beautiful Gloucester harbor scene taken from the parking lot of the Cape Ann Art Association. This watercolo was, painted from a series of sunset photographs over water. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| MENEMSHA: Watercolor. I took a photograph when visiting Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard, and was struck by this unusual mooring arrangement in a creek only yards from the beach and sand dunes. |
HIGHVELD CAPE DUTCH: Watercolor. I found a black and white photograph in a book about varied South African architecture. What is unusual about this painting is that this house with its distinctive gables, was built a thousand miles north of the western Cape, where this type of farmhouse is usually found.

MOTIF #1, SERIES: Watercolors. Cape Ann has many beautiful scenes that beg to be painted, but none more so than that of Motif #1, Rockport's ubiquitous landmark. I approached the subject from that of a wandering tourist, capturing glimpses from unusual vantage points – from an alleyway, behind a building and through the window of a gift store. SOLD |
FOGGY DAWN: Watercolor. The effect of sun shining through dense fog is something to marvel at. SOLD |

WINGAERSHELLS: A Watercolor. Ever since I moved to beautiful Gloucester, I would pick up a shell or a piece of interesting flotsam as a souvenir of my daily walks on nearby Wingaersheek beach. This was painted partially as a still-life and the background is a remembered scene at the beach. A second and similar painting was commissioned to balance this painting and hung on the other side of a fireplace. SOLD |
