View of Onancock Creeks central branch from near the Ames Street bridge.  See if you can find the kayaker who just would not be still. SOLD
There's something very spiritual about this piece of woods.  A friend came by with paintings he had done of an adjacent path and an image of the National Cathederal with the elevated arches and similar lofty evocations.  This is the second painting I have done in this location. SOLD
Walter and Waltons', retail fine furnishings, here in Onancock, is sporting a new coat of paint and the color is dazzling.  Couple that color with the fine display of Crape Myrtle and it's a painters paradise.  14 x 18" oil on linen. SOLD


Burtons' Shore south view 30 x 36" oil on linen.  This was my favorite painting spot a number of years ago and I returned here with my Fall Workshop group.  Several small paintings were done here which led to this and the above piece which were worked-up in the studio.  Initially the intent was to start an underpainting in the studio and finish the piece on location, but, in the interim a Nor'easter blew in and tore the place apart.  Nature will heal herself but the scene will be different.
Terwilligers" Gut 12 x 16" oil on linen - this started as a demonstration piece for a workshop I was conducting this past fall.  When the students left I returned to complete the painting.
Jeffs' Hideout 14 x 18" oil on linen.  SOLD
