The Piano

Outcropping II

11" x 14 ⅛" Oil on Panel

Anyway you paint it, the coastline of the Bay of Fundy is always there, beckoning to be painted again, and again.

I've used this specific size because it will fit one of the assortment of old frames we've come across over the years, and I cut the Masonite panel to match it. Although, upon second look of the particular frame, I chose not to include it in the photo because it has sustained irreparable damage. Really quite a shame, since it was quite handsome.

Cape Enrage

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas Available

Cape Enrage is on the New Brunswick coastline of the Bay of Fundy. Its always breezy there (anytime I've visited). It's probably a good place to generate power from the wind there). You'll find fossils on the beach when the tide is out. Beautiful, rugged place.

Isle Haute

16" x 20" Oil on canvas I can see this island from where I live. Its a majestic, and pristine island with dramatic cliffs in the Bay of Fundy. Its also home to a genetic biosphere of rare creatures found no where else. Its as if time has stood still for this island. The name is said to be an anglicized version of Ile Haute or "High Island" French explorer Samuel de Champlain gave it in 1604. This painting resulted from a trip along the Nova Scotia coastline where the island is much closer to shore.

Belleisle Bay

8" x 10" Oil on canvas Available

I lived near Belleisle Bay for several years. The landscape there is both beautiful, and peaceful.

Early Morning Field

8" x 1o" Oil on Canvas Available for Purchase

I like the feel of this piece. It has good atmosphere - a little mysterious. If you squint your eyes a bit, you can imagine a slight dew mist rising from the ground as everything begins to warm up in the approaching daylight.

Max and Toby

24" x 24" Oil on canvas Personal collection

Summers at Brown's Beach
kids, and dogs, and seagulls, and sand dollars
sun, saltwater, and seaweed
sandstone rocks, and cliffs
the tide going out leaves an enormous sand beach to run on
you can watch the fog way out over the water
sometimes there are fishing boats at the edge of distance
once there was a pup seal sunning itself
these are things found in the summers at Brown's Beach

Max

22" x 18" Oil on Panel Personal Collection

This is a portrait of my fourteen year-old son, Max. The setting for this portrait is the scenic Fundy Trail Parkway in New Brunswick. It was the last day the trail was open in November '07. In the background are some of the cliffs and ocean water you see when traveling, or stopping at the many lookouts along the route.

Book Reader

20" x 16" Oil on Canvas - unframed. Available for Purchase

What's in a book?
The feel of it in your hands as you open it
The quiet, crisp sound as you turn a page
printed letters become words, and the words become thoughts
then the magic begins to happen as the immediate world around you begins to dissolve
visual imagery from another place fills your mind
you reach to grasp new perspectives and ideas
and characters who were at first strangers to you, become familiar
as you find common ground to identify with them
and a few of the more memorable characters, over the course of several hundred pages, even become friends...
