A Walk on Beech Hill Road

This is the first completed plein air painting of the summer.

It is on the Beech Hill Road on Mount Desert Island.

Behind me, Beech Mountain. To the left, Long Pond.

In front, Beech Mountain Farm.

Italy

I am back from Italy and will be posting in the next few months more work from the trip.

For now, the first work, "The Grotto Boatmen of Capri"

Sketches from Travels

In preparation for teaching an Italian sketch trip, I went looking through my notebooks as examples for my students. Here are a few pages from prior travels to museums and a couple local sketches from Maine.

Summer 2010 Plein Air

The following paintings are a series of harbor scenes I painted on site in the summer of 2010.

Last year, I went to Baltimore for a memorial service for Dr. Barton Childs, whose portrait I painted for Johns Hopkins University the previous winter.
