Studio Open

I really want the Open Studio days to be a nice learning experience for everyone.  I want you to be able to watch me paint and to ask any questions.  I want to spend a little time with everyone.  Feel free to bring family and friends with you.  Yes, everything is for sale and Linda is planning a special January deal on a print (only available at the studio)  but my intention is for you to get to know me and my work and understand what I do.   Lititz offers several great restaurants so you can spend the day.  Save this date and plan to spend some time at the studio.

Thank you Jim Garner for the use of your photo, I am embracing our current snow!

I also  worked late last night and finished this beauty.  Thank you Lydia Dierwechter for the use of your photo... I loved the challenge of almost monochromatic in watercolors.

2020 Landscape #5
Framed 10x8  $225.

Several new mini paintings...

After a lot of friends and family get together's I am now concentrating on painting miniature paintings for my March Mini Show.   Here are my first 4 of the year.  They are framed in a black wood frame but you may choose walnut if you want.  They also look so much better when you see them.

2020 Landscape #1  8x10"  $225.      Winter!

2020 Still Life #1  8x10"  $225.  This is from an antique shop, to Linda's chagrin I include the price tags!

2020 Seascape #1  10x8"  $225.     I am working on better clouds... much harder than you can imagine, I save the white of the paper and paint the dark, an oil painter can just add the white to the top.  I struggle with getting puffy clouds, they tend to get pointy.  Yes, even after 40 years I still need to practice.

2020 Landscape #2 10x8"   $225.  This scene is near Chester Springs PA.  Love playing with shadows and night time light.
