As this show comes to an end, I can't resist showing this painting of me driving off into a sunset in the Catskills:


"Inspiring Places" runs until Monday Sept 5, 2016 at:

  I hope to see you on Sunday, and thanks to everyone who helped make this a successful show.

This August, I'm teaming up with Carol Sanzalonefor our 2nd show together at Artists' Gallery. This is my big show for the year and I hope you can stop by to see it.

I've always considered painting to be a natural extension of my exploration of the countryside. In the past couple of years I've renewed my interest in hiking and getting a bit more remote. In this show, my Inspiring Places are scenes from these hiking trips. Locations include the Delaware Water Gap, other North Jersey parks, and a bit further afield in the Catskills and Adirondack Mountains.



Gone are the barns and country roads that I paint so often, they're replaced by mountains in this show. But I have to confess there will be a couple of paintings with roads, I guess I just can't help myself. I'm still painting with oils in a style of traditional realism, it's only the locale that's changed.


Carol Sanzalone, my partner in this show, paints in watercolor and acrylic. With an interest in the graphic qualities of shadows and light, she takes a very creative approach to her subjects.

"Inspiring Places" runs August 4 through September 5, 2016 with an opening reception on Saturday, August 6, 4-7 pm at:

 
We will also have a Closing Reception on the final Sunday of the show, September 4, from 3-6 pm
 
We hope you can join us!

About my painting "Bell's Mills", I don't know what the name of this mill really is or was.  It's on the South Branch of the Raritan River at Neshanic Station, NJ.  But an 1860 map in the township library shows a town called Bell's Mills at this location, and no mention of Neshanic Station.  So Bell's Mills seemed a good title.

I have about a dozen paintings at Artists' Gallery now for our group show:




Our 16 gallery artists are showing mostly smaller works for the holiday season.  These are some of the works I have at the gallery now:
