Country Mail

Painting is a journey to wonderful people, places, and things. This journey took me to these beautiful mailboxes. It is the second time I painted mailboxes as my subject. I guess deep down in my subconscious they have a hidden meaning. I can think of many reasons, but I am sure you have some of your own. I think the beauty of the scene speaks for itself. Enjoy

I stopped the car to get a photo of this scene and I did an Oil Sketch with the plan to do a final piece. My interest was the dynamic view, color, and nature vs man. Someone really LOVES this tree ;) Hope you love it too!

This is a very common landscape in Bucks County with a little twist 😉 I have experienced these scenes for many years but as luck would have it, something struck a chord with my artistic sensibilities. I saw something wonderful in the weeds in front of the typical landscape. I knew it was magical and musical. The colors of the various weeds played across my field of view. I wanted to share in paint what I was seeing and if your listen hearing! Hope you enjoy the music

I paint lots of Bucks County scenes and landscapes. This one is a little different. I was traveling past Harrisburg and Gettysburg and was amazed at all the beauty I have been missing in our great state of Pennsylvania. I was born in Scranton and have visited my relatives for years, so I am quite familiar with the beauty of those scenes. The amount of sprawling farmland in western Pa. was refreshing. That is what inspired this oil painting. Title: Rolling Hills, Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 16 x 20 in., Price: $3200 USD

Finding Inspiration comes from many places. Bucks County has always been an area of abundant talent. It is the home to some of the most amazing Artists in the world. So I feel truly blessed to have been raised and experience the Great Artists of Bucks County and surrounding areas. Part of that experience is visiting local Shows and Exhibits for the pure joy of the visual arts and also for inspiration.

I went to a local gallery in the Yardley, Pa. area operated by a non-profit

Artist group, "Artists of Yardley". This group has a beautiful renovated stone house which is used for many purposes including an excellent Art Gallery. I walked through the current show and was very pleased with all the local talent. It was time to leave and my mind was spinning with painting ideas. As I walked to my car, I just happened to look down and was stopped in my tracks. Just my luck the most wonderful arrangement of colorful leaves were arranged feet from my car by nature. This is how the current Oil Painting came to be.

I started the Oil Painting over a year ago. Sometime very difficult paintings will be set aside until I am ready to tackle the challenge. Our current isolation because of the Corona Virus presented the perfect time to enjoy nature. Hope you like it

More Farm landscapes. This one I liked the extreme intense colors. At certain times of the day and on overcast we can see pure local color.

Title: Landscape Barn, Medium: oil on Linen Panel, Size: 8 x 10 in., Price: $900 USD

Core Creek Park on a beautiful Spring day. Karen and I took a slow ride through the park. We ended up at the boat loading ramp which was occupied by many ducks and geese. They were friendly and not worried about our presence. They seemed to pose for our photos. It was very nice and relaxing. I wasn't sure about the name I choose for this painting. Please offer your title!
Title: Duck Love, Medium: Oil on Linen Panel, Size: 8 x 10 inches., Price: $ 850 USD

It is fun to paint a subject you are familiar with in order to really see it as it exists. Life is too short and the places we run by can sometimes be wonderful places to remember. This barn has always interested me, but I could never stop to study it or photograph it for a painting. Until now! It was a rainy day on my way home from a show and it was perfect. The rain had just stopped, and the sky was bright, and the colors were true. Overcast days provide you with the color that exists without any bleaching. I love vibrant color and the wetness from the rain added to this explosion of color.
