A lifelong love of wildlife and nature inspires my art in oils or watercolors. I have spent many hours observing wildlife in their own natural environment. It is pure joy to photograph any wildlife that crosses my path, or nature scenes that confirm the handiwork of God.
Time stands still as a story unfolds in front of the camera.
Many photographs are later used as reference material for new wildlife art. Original oil paintings, original watercolors and framed prints of artwork can be seen in Maine at the Christmas Classics Gallery in Rangeley, Maine on a year-round basis, with additional framed prints of art at Riverview Farm Crafts and Collectibles on Lisbon Road in Lisbon, Maine. Miniature matted prints are also available at the Ecopelogicon Bookstore in Rangeley. My main medium is oils, using an Italian glazing technique, which is achieved through painting thin layers of color, using a very limited palette of only seven or eight basic colors. The paintings have a unified look using the limited palette of colors, mixed in infinite combinations.
