Passing Storm

This picture was a long time coming. First It was just a field. Then it was a field with a flag and finally it became "Passing Storm". It reminds me of many summer vacations spent on the Maine coast yet it bears harbingers of both danger and hope for America's future. Oil on canvas 24"x 66"

Lift

Dogs in my work often elicit feelings of innocence, loyalty ... trust. In this painting I was thinking of a dog outside of himself, so excited that he cannot contain himself.
