"Turbulence"

News and Updates

Although my solo show, Waterworks, at the Elizabeth Moss Gallery (Falmouth, Maine) is now over, viewers can still see the remaining paintings in Liz's inventory. The show was all about water--foaming surf, quiet lily ponds, rushing rivers, thundering waterfalls. The painting above is an example. For a glimpse of the whole collection, see the New Work page here or go to the gallery website: www.elizabethmossgalleries.com.

As part of an online artist group, I have also committed to doing one black and white drawing per week for the next year. The drawings are small (4" x 6"), but are leading to the development of my next series. Here is as example, along with the small (12" H x 16" W ) painting study called "Low Tide", just completed. My plan is to do large paintings based on these drawings and color studies.

Three of my paintings have been juried into a Maine bicentennial show called "The Pine Tree State at 200: The Art of the Maine Woods," at the Thomas Moser Gallery in Freeport. The show will run until December 31. You can see the three pieces (A River Runs Wild; Color at Its Peak; and Tumble Down) on the New Work page or visit the gallery to enjoy them first-hand. Also, the painting below called "Marsh in Summer" has been juried into a show at the Roux & Cyr Gallery in Portland, scheduled to start on September 17.

In addition to representation by the Elizabeth Moss Gallery, my work is shown at the N. W. Barrett Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, and at the Centre St. Arts Gallery in Bath, ME. I helped to found the latter gallery with 8 other partners almost 10 years ago. More information on each of these venues and their schedules can be found on their individual web sites:
