This is an oil painting on paper done at the Albuquerque, New Mexico studio this last season out there. It is called: "Anguished Mother". I let the viewer decide on how to interpret this picture.

The following is a series of sketches called: "Beach House in the Woods" done near Sag Harbor, Long Island, NY in August of 2019

I thought I would present a series of nine paintings that are all of the "desert landscape" theme, and were inspired by life in New Mexico. They were all painted in March/April of 2017 (two years ago as of this writing.) The title of this one is simply: "Landscape # 3,  2017." I have not attempted here to arrange the paintings in chronological order since that has no particular bearing on the series.

This painting is clearly related to the first one, and is, in fact, "Landscape # 1, April, 2017." As you will soon see, some of the series have purple borders painted on them. The two paintings directly above and below have such borders, but in the photographing, did not turn out well, so they were cropped out. You will have to see the originals to view the purple borders on these paintings!

The painting directly above is simply known as "Landscape # 4, March, 2017."

Here you are able to see the purple border. Again, not perfectly photographed since art photography is not necessarily my strong suit. But you get the idea. This painting is: "Landscape # 1, March, 2017, so in all likelihood, it is, indeed the first painting I did in the series. 

Landscape # 2, March, 2017".

"Landscape # 2,  April, 2017".

"Mountain Range # 1, March 2017"

"Landscape # 3, March, 2017"

This painting also has a purple border

"Landscape # 5, March, 2017"

Presenting the "House in the Hills" series. So far, there are four (or rather three) paintings. The first one was modified architecturally, so second one is the same painting, only with slightly different building(s).

These are all basically acrylic paintings on paper. You can see the differences made in the updating of this painting below, "House in the Hills, 2. Mostly in the roof lines. However, at least one greeting card was made from version one, above.

The third painting in the series is on a smaller piece of paper, but this was not a problem:

It is almost my favorite in the series, and here I began to introduce sand as an element in the construction of the painting (the road.)

This is the last in the series, (so far), and I tried to introduce a wider variety of colors and once again, sand on the road: This is "House in the Hills # 4)

The painting below is called "The Musician" and was done a number of years ago.  I recently announced to a friend that I would be able to post a lot more portraits from my collection of paintings at Stone Lion Studio East on this blogsite. Unfortunately, other than a select few such as this one, I am unable to do so at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

A commissioned painting from your original photograph is, however, possible. Thank you for your patience and continued interest.

These are three fairly recent paintings (acrylic on watercolor paper.) The first is an impression of a crane flying over the wetlands at the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge near San Antonio, New Mexico. The second is my conception of a coyote, and the third is another view of the foothills taken from a previous sketch I did on the same topic.

I was finally able to get a fairly decent photo of "Man with a Pipe" (portrait of my brother, Steve) in acrylics on canvas from 1997.
