Paintings - Plein Air Sketches and Painting Demonstrations

These are original plein air oil paintings that I’ve done as demonstrations for my classes or quick studies for my own edification. I consider them successful and strong examples of my work, but because they’re quickly executed and a bit sketchier than my more elaborate paintings, I can sell them for much lower prices. They’re on unframed canvas boards unless specified as being on stretched canvases. (You can advance to additional pages of paintings at the bottom of this screen)

Here's a new documentary about my life as an artist made by my nephew, Brian Sandusky for his thesis project in multimedia video production. To show full-screen, click on the second button to the right of the time bar.

Visit my tent at the monthly Palmer Park Art Market (usually held on the last Saturday of each month). What better place to see my plein air paintings than in the natural outdoor light in which they were made? In this setting I present more of my affordable quick sketches and class demonstrations. I also have my digital archival prints and books.

In this website you can peruse a great many of my plein air paintings and figure paintings (past, present, and fresh off the easel), see and purchase my prints, view some of my painting demonstrations, and learn about my classes, workshops, books, articles, and lectures. You might even ponder purchasing one of my paintings or commissioning me for a special project. Most of all I hope you enjoy this site and gain a better appreciation of vision and representational painting.
