Paintings in progress...

In the studio now ...
Come back often to watch a selection of my paintings develop from start to finish.
​I usually work on several paintings at a time, with multiple steps of glazes planned out ahead of time, each glaze needing to dry before the next goes on. You'll see several underway now.
​

Below, you can turn on the slide show, use right and left arrows to proceed or go back, or click on individual images at the bottom of the large image. ​You can pause the slideshow at any time by clicking on the pause sign on the upper left.

The Riverside

I might have called this one cathedral. It's how I feel when seeing light filtering through the tops of trees.
In truth, all of life is a cathedral. My paintings' purpose is to offer a window.

An 8" x 8" oil goes through the same rigors as much larger paintings

Watch this painting develop here

My method of painting in oils requires layering thin glazes of colors

To keep the colors from blending together, each glaze dries a couple of days before the next goes on

A Puppy by the Sea portrait from start to finish

Captions explain the process step by step as this oil painting takes shape.

Rainbow over Bethany

Early last summer, the most beautiful scene appeared in front of me while I was standing on the Bethany Beach boardwalk. Above, watch as I'm showing all stages of painting Rainbow over Bethany in oils. Captions explain each step. I hope you enjoy watching.

What goes into a beach portrait? Read the captions,please.
Keira's Way, a 16" x 20" oil on canvas.

Creating 'Don't Pinch the Pooch'


Spring Promise

This was my first painting of a bird and my only acrylic. I enjoyed the process beyond the limits of acrylics.
