My intention, when painting water is to capture multiple dimensions. From the simple reflection of the sky and trees and how the mirror breaks and divides, to the depths of stones and plants beneath the surface.
An old painting, that has never actually been finished but is on my list, is a painting of a rain barrel-as a child I felt like the leaves at the bottom of the barrel seemed like ghosts rising and falling in an in-between state of color and space. This and a love of waterfalls, started my passion for water.
I work in multiple layers that overlay each other and create a vibration between different tones. I then meticulously add and substract light and flecks of color so the stars appear to flicker as the viewer observes the painting.

I am a kayaker, not the most agile one as you’ll see if you read the stories below. I love water, it’s what I paint and some of my best inspiration has been on the water in a kayak.
I enjoy painting the subtleties of water and how reflections change and become their own image while the depth beneath has it’s own intricacies.
This is what I love about painting water and why it has been a joy for me both through photography, oil painting, pastels on paper and writing.
These original paintings have already sold but I do commissions from photographs, etc. We can capture that moment and why you enjoy being out on the water, kayaking, surfing, etc.

Original oil painting of sail boat on Lake Ray Hubbard, 18×24 for sale-sporting art series-$900.00.
This painting is actually a remake from a pastel sketch from Sandy Hook New Jersey, I created this years earlier. I liked the orange and yellow and how it reacted with the cooler colors of the water.
This series of sailboats and water craft were a departure from previous more detailed work, I concentrated more on the colors and the movement of water as expressed with looser strokes.

How fast time flies, a year of selling insurance, a new car, a year of building an art and writing business and here we are out on the water again. It’s been two years since I’ve been out on the water and I wish I could say it was smooth sailing.
