Mill Dam Road at Dusk

I go to this spot in Stone Ridge, NY every time the weather does something unique. I am going to paint this little "roll" of hills in the spring, too. In this painting the fields are seen covered in a deep snow just before the light goes fully behind the trees.

Winter Corn Field

My newest paint, titled Winter Corn Field, is of a local farm field after the first snow this winter. The corn stalks are still visible above the snow and the sky is full of clouds.

Roly Cow Show at Keegan Ales

Here are some installation pictures of my solo show at Keegan Ales in Kingston, NY on view February and March 2011. The show features work I did a few years ago and is called Roly Cow because there is at least one cow in each painting.

Footsteps In The Snow


I finally finished this landscape. More and more I am becoming intrigued by the dramatic effect of light on snow in the early or late hours of the day. I titled this "Footsteps In The Snow" because there are faint tracks that can be discovered in the lower right-hand side of the painting. In some ways this scene reminds me of Robert Frost.

Every winter, Mohonk Mountain House, a resort outside of New Paltz, boards their horses at this farm in the valley near me. It is a real cozy winter site to see horses wandering in the snow.

Summer Hay Field

Hay bales pop-up all over the Hudson Valley in mid-summer.
This is a field just outside the town of New Paltz in Ulster County, New York.

Snow In The Valley

Fall is in the air and I want to paint snow! I love the way light plays off of snow in the bright sun. I have painted this farm before. The previous painting had horses in it and it was later in the day. This scene shows the best that Ulster County has to offer - open spaces and the Catskill Mountains not too far away.
