Recent Doodles

Though not a conscious choice, I have relatively few night scenes. This painting, with its limited palette andtreatment of light, has made me interested in doing more now.

This piece was a special commission, and I did quite a few concept sketches before arriving at the final idea.

For this year’s Atomic Christmas, (See #1 and #2) I decided to go for a full out family portrait, something I’ve never attempted earlier. Also, we have the most recent appearance of the Little White Dog. (See his past guest spots here, here, and here.)

As I mentioned earlier, I am an avid enthusiast of murder mysteries; especially those old parlor mysteries. This painting took more than a small page from my favorite game.

Many of my paintings of the shore are inspired by a beach at the tip of Cape Cod called ‘Race Point.’ If you love the shore, you owe it to yourself to go there.

This was the first painting I completed upon returning from Amsterdam. Evidently, being around so many sheep stuck with me.

This is my only self-portrait to date. I’m the one on the right. This probably stems from a month of taking photographs of myself at arm’s length.
