Stormy Blues- I photographed it two ways the bluer painting is more truer the color...this painting looks better in person you can really see the detail like the grass growing along the fence...and the horizon line is straight I was standing at a weird angle taking the pic...

Back to the painting I am working on, I had to put it aside while filming and directing the Road Race.

So now the one on the easel....

Some behind the scenes of interviews we (Kevin and Robbie) did on the Thursday before the Road Race.

It was a long weekend of filming and lots of work.. but I love it!
The women elite runner turned out to be the female winner!

I have been working on this painting for a week; I had a difficult time with the flowers I just couldn't make
them look like I wanted them to; so I decided to put the painting aside and look at it for awhile and I'll go back and fix it when I've made up my mind as to what I want to change.

Morning Lights

Some photos, of dramatic morning light.

The flowers were beautiful this spring in front of the shops in downtown Falmouth. One morning while filming for a TV show I took several photos and a did a quick sketch so I could paint this pic one day. Lucky I did the flowers are now gone by with the summer heat, and I would never have been able to set my easel in this spot to paint because it is in the street where I had to take the pic.

Lately I've been hard at work filming lots of shows at FCTV, I can't seem to find the perfect balance when I film; my painting stops, when I paint I have to put filming and editing on hold. Seems to me I have to create more hours in the day. Never the less I do have a painting on the easel I started a week ago; I need to add something which I am working on, not sure if I like the water, what attracted me to the scene was all the green growing and reflecting in the water and the rocks, not sure if I've achieved what I wanted, maybe a sailboat moored.....

What's new on the easel, I love this lake. I fish there alot.

My desk lately,

When writing my novel and I like to print it out and have it
in front of me the computer makes it easy but I like to write long hand to.

New painting in process, coming along but need more, I love the spot its down Cape.
I have been so busy lately, between filming, painting, writing, and it's garden time, no time for sleep.

Guitars are beautiful closeup, I have been playing alot lately.

Boat in progress and Abstract fun

Fishing boat that I have been working on.Had fun with abstracts one day, this is called

Spring!!!

My artist quote today.

"He unfolds, as a painter," said Cezanne, "that which has not yet been said; he translates it into absolute terms of painting--something other than reality."


I'm still trying to achieve my painting reality.

A teacher quote:
"In reality a piece of art is not a depiction of something else, it stands alone as a new creation. What is it? It is what it is, a painting judged without the need for comparison."


I love this "It is what it is" The beauty of a painting, sculpture, a song or even a dance, all of art really, is that… It is what it is.

Some of my studio, small but cozy.

New Paintings in the Works

Mornings on the Cape and its many Lights

 All the of these pictures came from a TV show I produced called

Morning Sunrises.

I shot a sunrise every morning for a year.

Cape Cod has beautiful color skies.
