Like Odysseus on his journey, I continue to pursue the adventures of Watercolor painting and discover new and exciting ways to enrich my own experience of painting and to present my ideas more forcefully. As Renoir once said: “I like paintings which make me want to take a stroll in them if they are landscapes…”
As a result, I am adding new paintings to this site and to celebrate Spring am offering a 40% reduction on all previously posted paintings. To take advantage of this offer, simply type in the word SPRING when submitting your order.
I hope you will avail yourself of this generous offer and take the “scenic route” through my site and find something pleasing and interesting. Let me know what you think and feel free to offer your suggestions.

Being an artist opens up a whole new way of thinking, feeling, and living, and expands one’s appreciation of nature that surrounds us. I am constantly in the process of refining my art and philosophy but still have a lot to learn.
Recently, I took some Watercolor courses from the nationally known artist, Ms. Phyllis Rutigliano, of Englewood, New Jersey, at the Silvermine Guild Arts Center in New Canaan, Connecticut. She has been both helpful and inspiring, and she has given me a whole new way of looking at watercolors and painting Wet-on-Wet.
Currently, I am pursuing Life Drawing at Silvermine Guild Arts Center where I eventually hope to display some of my sketches and paintings of models. When finished, I will include a few on this site and make them available for purchase.
