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 two additional pages of paintings at the bottom of this screen)

Visit my new tent at the monthly Palmer Park Art Fair (usually held on the last Saturday of each month). Come to buy or just to look! The sun hits the light filtering tent ceiling and beautifully illuminates my work. What better place to see my plein air paintings than in the natural outdoor light in which they were made? I'll be showing not only my finished framed oil paintings but also my more affordable quick sketches and class demos. I'll also be displaying and selling 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.
