About the Painting

Set up my easel on Kenilworth Lake this summer and painted this peaceful scene. The kids love to swing out over the lake, so on any hot day I can hear their laughter and joy. This morning was somewhat blustery, which moved the swing like a ghost was riding it and rippled the water.

More about the Artist

My artwork has been featured at TED (Technology, Education and Design) and has won ArtInPlace (Virginia), being featured along a major highway on a 12' X 24' aluminum panel where thousands of people enjoy it daily. Recently two of my pieces were awarded the cover and inside art for Wine and Country Living magazine, and were purchased for the publisher's collection. In 2015 one of my pieces was a finalist in the Gigliola Gamerini Award International Competition, and was exhibited in Florence, Italy. My work is in the collection of National Geographic, NBC, American Horse Publications, United States Dressage Federation, and many private collections internationally. The Lloyd Museum in Cincinnati and The William H. Benton Museum in Connecticut also have my work in their collections, with the Lloyd Museum having over 100 original pieces.

In the summer, the oaks look bigger then ever, and this one is just plain massive. It has the most interesting branches and patina. 

Art is my life. From the first art project I can remember (making a Christmas Nativity scene in grade school that overshadowed the resident artist) art has always been what brings me the greatest satisfaction. Without art, I am not who I am. 

I am now working full time as a fine artist, a dream that I've pursued for as long as I remember. Landscapes engage and challenge me, and I have a very soft spot for animals (that's me with Rosie the thoroughbred, left). 

My artwork has been featured at the world renowned TED (Technology, Education and Design) conference (TED MED in San Diego, on huge high definition screens throughout the exhibition center). I recently won the nationally acclaimed ArtInPlace competition in Virginia which placed a 12' X 24' mural on aluminum of my work, now seen by thousands of commuters daily. 

Two museums currently house my art: The William H. Benton Museum in Connecticut, and The LLoyd Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a great honor to be asked to exhibit and I continue to add to their collections. Speaking of collections, my work is a part of hundreds of private collections worldwide.

And here's the video I took of the scene as I painted. A gorgeous morning but I had to move fast as the clouds came up by lunchtime. Watch for the swing blowing in the wind towards the beginning:
