More Booze Bottles


Here's another still life painting of some little booze bottles that I collected along the shores of the Housatonic River. These were lined up on a window ledge catching the late afternoon sun.

Another Snow Bird


Yesterday was the first official day of Spring. It was sunny in the mid 40s and my sons and I cleaned up the grounds here. I thought we were finally done with winter, but sure enough it snowed this morning. I dragged out another old painting of a starling lost in the winter.

Winter is Still Here


Just when it seemed like Spring was here, we got a few more inches of snow. I found this painting from a few years ago in storage. Three Starlings are shown foraging for food in the snow.

Apples and Oranges


It's not all about apples and oranges. I have some coyote skulls around here somewhere. This painting is a few years old and it's never been shown before. A world premier right here! It's an 8 x 10 inch oil on panel.

More Green Apples


This still life of a similar subject was painted in 2008. The blue background provides a good contrast to the green apples. I don't remember the squirrels bothering with them until this year. One of our neighbors, who used to feed the birds and probably the squirrels, moved away, so now they are turning to me. If I catch em, they will be painted.

Green Apples and Leaves


This is a recent painting of some green apples and leaves that came from a tree in the backyard. In spite of the lack of rain, this was the best apple yield in five years for this tree. Once the squirrels figured it all out, the apples were doomed.
