Architecture Portraits
Rivershore Colors

This home was a ranch and was rebuilt as
an elegant home on the Niagara River.
Stately trees surround it with
shade while the back has windows overlooking the bridge and river.
8th Avenue Stop
12X24 oil on panel 2011
My original painting at this location was a smaller size and I was
overwhelmed by the close quarters of a Brooklyn plein air,
the elegant architecture details and the perspective of a 4 story
brownstone.
This studio work concentrated on the brilliant morning
light of my photographs and memory of the first painting.
Whitesville House
18X24
oil 2011
Started as a plein air on the hottest day of the summer this majestic
1826 building dominates the little town of Whitesville, New York.

It doesn't snow much in Central New Jersey, so this is a special painting of a former snowbelt resident's home, celebrating early morning light of an unusual snowstorm.
Beyond the Antiques

Went to go antique hunting & never made it indoors. This lovely flower covered old barn behind the parking lot kept me busy all day
