Here’s a watercolor I did about 2 months ago. It’s large, and I did it because I love eating crabs. It’s a social thing. My grandparents lived in Norfolk, and as a kid, my dad and I would go crabbing with chicken necks and string. We would throw the chicken necks out, wait a few […]
Here is a painting I did recently. I had assigned my students to do rough ocean waves and turbulent skies. After I finished my painting, I thought it needed more so I added some seagulls in the distance. Then after looking at it more, I decided to make some bigger seagulls. I’m please how it […]
I haven’t posted in quite a while. I had surgery almost a month ago and recovery has been slow. I decided to show some things I did before I went under the knife. This is a still life I set up with some old coke bottles and some daisies. It was fun to paint. I […]
Here’s the latest painting I’ve done. It’s of Washington, DC from the top of the Marriott. I went to a wedding there back in 2009 and took this picture. I’m finally getting around to painting it. It’s a watercolor on a full sheet of watercolor paper. So it’s BIG! I haven’t framed it yet, but […]

I haven’t written on my blog for a while, but here is the latest painting I just completed. It was a commission for my friends, Jeanne and Joe, who live in Rosslyn with this beautiful skyline view. They live in Arlington overlooking the Potomac River, and this is their view of Washington. There are 3 […]
Here’s the latest painting I’ve done. I call it “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” I set up this still life with some bottles I had in our cupboard. I bought Don Julio’s, not because I like tequilla, but because I liked the shape of the bottle. I went to Ayers 5&Dime over in Westover and bought […]
