Springtime walk is a rebirth to the senses. Seen here is the Carroll Creek Park at Baker Park in Frederick, Maryland. Come, walk the trail, and enjoy.

In this scene, Jackson Lake is depicted on a sunny day with June flowers blooming. Behind are the Tetons, still covered with snow. This is a famous viewing site in the Teton National Park and I depicted it in oil.

The Battle of Upperville took place on the banks of Goose Creek, near the town. This oil is of a warm, beautiful fall day with autumn foliage.

This is a late fall view of the south branch of the Shenandoah river in Bentonville, VA. It was photographed from an overlook in Shenandoah State Park. After viewing the photographs, I decided to capture this late October scene in oil. Here you can see the recently harvested fields and pastures as well.

Dar es Salaam translates to “Abode of Peace”. It is the largest city and main financial hub of Tanzania. My daughter photographed this scene and shared it with me. Because of the beauty and calm quality, I was inspired to paint this scene in my home studio.

This Fiji sunrise was photographed by my daughter and sent to me. Because of its beauty and tranquility and its unusual array of colors, I was inspired to paint it. This oil is of the south Pacific Ocean.

I photographed these African animals while boating on the Zambezi River and was inspired to paint them. These elephants, due to decades of poaching for Ivory and loss of habitat are now listed as critically endangered.

This wonder of fall coros can be seen at McKee Besher’s Wildlife Reserve. Recently I set up with my canvas and paints as I viewed this awe-inspiring landscape en plein air.

Recently, I set up my oils, chair and painting table for a wonderful afternoon by the Shenandoah. I actually sat on the Rick’s Mud River as the water was low. There was a breeze. Two people were wearing waders and fishing nearby. The river water ripples and flistened in the afternoon sun. It was a day to remembver and I am sooo happy to record it on canvas!

While strolling the Tidal Basin in the afternoon, this familiar scene is always a show-stopping sight
