2024 Still Life #29


 mini original watercolor  $225

I love the color on this little pitcher.  From PennyPacker Mills in Schwenksville, PA

My latest commission was an anniversary gift and I may now show it... I am very pleased how it turned out.  The size is 18x14"  There was a lot of detail to squeeze into a small size.  If you are interested in a special painting,  contact me.


Plan ahead to Friday, June 7th for Lititz Quick Draw
I have 2 hours to start and finish a painting in Lititz.  I am scouting out my subject and let you know where you can find me.  You walk around town and watch and then the paintings are up for sale at the end of the day.  More details to follow.

2024 Still Life #28


mini original watercolor   $225

Another one from the Peter Wentz Farmstead in Worcester, PA. I modified this a bit; there was actually the most unusual smudges of paint on the walls, I left them off and I added a pear because I had one setting on my table (before I ate it!).

Nova Scotia, Canada.  I needed a little change in what I have been painting.

Monday it was raining in NYC.  Linda stayed home, Ben went for a wet run and Abbey and I headed to the Met.  I listened to a podcast for background on the show before we left.  The Met was PACKED and it was hard to see the paintings but it was inspiring.  I am pretty excited to say I had not one but TWO Tesla Lyfts!  I’m begging for a Tesla but no one is listening!    We had tickets for a 9pm play at the SoHo Playhouse to see Hahahahah.  All audience participation, unusual but uplifting.  We all really liked it but it was definitely different.  

Leaving Tuesday morning, Linda is headed to the beach with the girls for a few days.  My plan is to get as many miles on my bike as I possibly can!

I must give the credit to the Glendale Flour Mills antiques. An old table in front of the window.
I was attracted to the light.

Saturday evening we took the train to NYC to spend some time with Abbey and Ben.  Sunday we went to Abbeys museum, Cooper Hewitt for a very interesting exhibit.  Lunch on a blanket in Central Park.  Then capped off our day with a fantastic concert at City Winery. This is a great place to see shows, we were 10’ from the stage,   Leonid and Friends.  Unbelievably good.

Meanwhile over the weekend we had some 150 year old cellar wall work done.  Pretty impressive it lasted that long.  There was some erosion behind the dry stacked huge stones causing a few feet long to push forward a few inches.About 2 feet deep wall, they don’t build them like that anymore!

2024 Landscape #14


 original watercolor   $225

I have a "thing" for fields.  They were plowing, planting and growing in this field.  I was intrigued with the patterns and colors.  This view was across the street from Hoovers Market outside of Lititz.  Linda was in getting veggies while I was getting inspired.

To keep my framing life simple I only offer a walnut or black wood frame.  If you buy my print unframed and take it to a frame shop you can really do special framing.  Here is a clients example of Heritage. They were picking up the feel of the stone in the frame...beautiful.

Saturday...May 25
Opening my studio from 10am to 3pm

I will be working on a painting...
There is always a large stock of Prints, framed and unframed.
Lots of Originals in all sizes.
Stop in, then spend some time in downtown Lititz!

You just can't beat a red barn!
Peter Wentz Farmstead in Worcester, PA

Last Friday was set up for the Spring Heart of Lancaster Show. We had a double booth with 2 tents and a nasty forecast. Watercolors and prints just soak up the moisture and get wrinkly so I took half the stock back home and spread out what was there. Saturday was about what we expected and we stayed relatively dry. Today was spent drying out 2 tents and lots of tarps. Just extra work!
