“Going Home” is one of those paintings that stayed with me long after I signed my name.
It was commissioned by a family for their niece, who was in her final season of life with MS.
They wanted an image that felt like a blessing and a goodbye all at once.
I hope this piece speaks to you too.
"Bob in Autumn" portrays one of my oldest friends set against a path lined with muted fall foliage.
A custom portrait captures how it felt to be there in that moment.
My Custom Portrait process is easy and I can accommodate whatever memory you want to capture.

I painted the solitary face in 1970 (see the signature) and carried it around since. Last week I finished what I always envisioned and used AI to show the difference.
I painted "Play Time" to capture that deep, wordless focus kids have when they’re at play.
It’s a small moment, but it holds a whole world of early discoveries and quiet love.
Does this bring up a particular childhood memory for you—or a scene you’ve watched a child repeat over and over?
I saw this while sitting in our courtyard late in the day. “The Lantern”, a quiet still life that gathers a weathered lantern, a worn pitcher of leaves, a terracotta bowl, and a small box of matches. It's my ongoing exploration of the ordinary beauty hidden in daily life.

“The Hat.” (Oil on canvas)
An image of a pregnant woman. The hat and the fence feel like quiet guardians—one shading her from the sun, the other marking the edge of the world she stands in now and the new one she’s about to enter.

Writing to introduce my new children's book on Amazon.
"The Adventures of Heidi: The Brave Little Schnauzer." (It's been daycare tested. 😊) www.amazon.com/dp/B0GMCLRWS...
“Renfrew” isn’t just an architectural study; it’s a place where real healing work happens. I worked at The Renfrew Center in Philadelphia, and painting it felt like a way to honor the stories, challenges, hope and healing that have passed through there.

Starting the week with a quiet still life. I’m drawn to those small, ordinary corners of life—tablecloth, fruit, flowers, a bit of morning light.
If this hung in your home, would you put it in the kitchen, dining room, or somewhere else entirely?

"Buddha On Wood"
I found a two-inch-thick slab of mahogany in my basement and just couldn't throw it away.
Brigantine 23rd Street Beach. The calm and serenity as your walking to the ocean.

Inflicting AI on my paintings. The possibilities are exciting...for me anyway.
Last one for today.
And so on...I can't wait to actually get creative.
My 3rd try at AI. Endless posiibility.
My 2nd try at AI.
My first try at AI
Love your colors and mood.
Thanks...and you're right...it is a sucky pic. I will do better.
