River Beetle

 6"x12" Oil on Panel

My first car in high school was a blue 1967 VW Beetle exactly like this one, but it worse condition! I paid $300 for it, and drove it for a couple years before I upgraded to a 1969 VW Beetle. 

Winter Reflections

 11" x 14" oil on panel

We were out on a sunny Saturday morning after several days of snow and clouds, and came across this sunlit building reflecting off the wet pavement. I thought it was good painting material because of the contrast between the geometric building and the abstract reflections in the pavement.

Morning Walk

14" x 11" oil on panel

A few years ago we were in Bruges, Belgium and I got up early and went to go find some coffee. The early morning light was hazy and I loved how it cloaked the old buildings. 
 

Summertime

 

9" x 12" Oil on panel

Winter Sunrise

18" x 24" oil on canvas

On an early morning December morning, my wife and I drove to a conservation area to take a walk. Upon pulling into the parking lot, we were greeted with this sunrise.
 

Autumn Dusk

 11" x 14" oil on panel

I painted this scene a few years ago and decided to repaint much darker. I liked the original but I used a faulty varnish on it and the surface did not age well. 

Runaway

 

12" x 12" oil on panel

The title, and message, of this painting is NOT to runaway from your troubles into a martini! 'Runaway' memorializes the green olive that fell off and is rolling away from the glass.
