This tranquil landscape features a gently flowing river coursing against a peaceful shoreline while verdant distant hills rise and fall against baby blue sunlit skies.

I did this painting during the Covid lockdown as an escape.

Broad and fertile late summer plains stretch to distant hills in a natural mid-day landscape as lavender skies relent to gently flowing clouds.  An expansive panorama where nature and man become one in fair creation.
Part one of a two-part set.

Broad and fertile late summer plains stretch to distant hills in a natural mid-day landscape as lavender skies relent to gently flowing clouds.  Slowly emerging in a quiet fold, a youthful grove of emerald green trees dance and sway in the breeze.   An expansive panorama where nature and man become one in fair creation.

Cheerful sunlit skies gently bask a delicate verdant landscape with accents and shadows while pinkish ethereal clouds slowly inch across the distant horizon.
 

This peaceful marshland landscape features grassy reeds and rushes and distant swampy trees. Marshes provide a habitat for many exotic species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else.
In ancient mythology a will-o'-the-wisp is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps, or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travellers from the safe paths.

The fair white-ribboned Naples coastline emerges in the distance as quiet seas transform from their blue-gray and turquoise depths to the gentle surf of a yearning beach under the azure summer sky.

This two-part landscape set captures the essence of Pennsylvania's stately woodlands, serene wilderness, and gentle hills yielding to rugged steep slopes.Pennsylvania bore witness to a rich pageantry of our history, perhaps dating back over 15,000 years to the last glacial period.
The territory hosted several Native American tribes including the Lenape, Susquehannock, Shawneee, Erie, and Iroquois. Chartered as a Royal Colony in 1681, Pennsylvania would later serve as a nexus for the enlightenment and courageous struggle for American independence.

Cheerful sunlit skies gently bask a delicate verdant landscape with accents and shadows while pinkish etherial clouds slowly inch across the distant horizon.
 

A joyful and serene landscape with richly fertile soils and verdant rolling hills giving way to a distant bank of fields under a blue sunlit sky punctuated with gentle soft-gray clouds.

From the secure vantage point on the golden orange sands of a secluded beach, the seascape expanse opens with translucent waves quietly cresting in their approach.  On the distant horizon, clouds slowly begin to gather, suggesting a sense of mystery and change.
 

Originally established as a crude fort in 1699 near the mouth of the Mississippi, the name "Plaquemines" was a Gallicization of a Native American word for the many nearby "persimmon" trees.
The inhabitants of Plaquemines are stubborn and tough.
Having weathered many wars, hurricanes, and landscape changes from shifting tides, sandbars, and marshes—the Parish strongly adheres to its deep French roots.
This composition captures this heritage and the primordial beauty of Louisiana wetlands against blue skies and silver-tipped clouds.

This striking seascape records the rugged natural beauty of Puget Sound—unquestionably North America’s most pristine estuary. The Sound was discovered in 1792 by George Vancouver and named after Peter Puget, a French Huguenot who became an officer in the British Royal Navy. It is the result of the melting retreat of the 6,000 foot thick Vashon Glaciation about 15,000 years ago.
This composition captures the striking colors, rocky jetties, swift currents, and dramatic vistas that characterize Puget Sound.

This composition embodies the old adage “Pink sky at night… sailors delight; Pink sky at morning… sailors take warning!” But, at the same time it, provokes the question whether tranquility or turbulence are rising on the tide.
 

The spirit of maritime wonder and adventure pervade this two-part nautical series exalting sailboats against a profoundly rich sea and fair sunlit skies.  The human innovation of connecting wind and sail led to epic adventures such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, the rise and fall of great empires, and the exploration of the new world.  These primal forces now manifest themselves in modern times in sporty and leisurely pursuits in our recreational sailing yachts.

Beaches are always changing. They are alive. As an ecosystem, they are home to birds, crabs, clams, fish, grasses, algae, and countless other life forms. Miraculosly, they consist of the coarse erosion products of land (sand and pebbles) and sea (shell and coral fragments)—subject to the whims of winds and currents.
The shoreline where the land meets the sea is constantly changing.
In this composition, gentle rolling seagrass and sandy golden beaches give way to an expansive azure oceanscape.  Perhaps this is the best living embodiment of change.
