a polo painting

I recently updated my website, which I try to do every few months, and realized that I forgot to put a finished work of a polo match up so I figured I would pop  it up here until I update the site again.  I have posted some other other polo paintings on this blog which you can scroll down and see.

I have been featured in a local Columbus publishing company's online series titled '7 Works' which features, you guessed it, 7 works by an artist.  They are a group worth checking out so take a look at their site and see some of the things they are working on.

limited palette study

I always keep a very limited palette when starting a painting and when I am teaching lessons to students I encourage making paintings using a simple palette.  You can still achieve great results without being overwhelmed in this way.  This painting I did as an example using only burnt sienna, ultramarine blue and titanium white.

Flora show

                                                          Morning after the ice storm

 I have put up 10 new paintings at Flora Home and Garden with a winter theme for the season.  They are a mix of contemporary and historic scenes mainly from the Columbus area.

Raining in Columbus

A couple new paintings done on panel with watercolor and acrylic.  The subject once again is a historic turn of the century view of 'the arch city'

polo studies

I went to my first polo match this fall and have started a few new works.  I have been making a bunch of studies like these and will have some more developed work coming soon.

Horse sketch

A quick sketch I did while at an afternoon cookout on a beautiful farm in central Ohio.
Watercolor and acrylic on wood panel

a couple more Monhegan works

The first is the eastern shore and the second is the Kent house.  It was originally owned by Rockwell Kent and now by Jamie Wyeth

First paintings from Monhegan

The first of many paintings that will be coming from my visit to Monhegan Island in Maine.  One is oil and the other watercolor and acrylic.  Two different styles, but it has been fun playing with these different techniques for different subjects.

New painting of old high street

Many, but not all, of my paintings of High Street have the iconic arches but most are not actually from the Short North in Columbus.  Back around the turn of the century these arches were put up on high street through what is now down town as well.  I have many people asking me about this so I thought to add a short note on it.

new works from maine

a couple works that didn't make the latest update on my site.  one sunrise, one sunset...
