Garden Bench

A personal painting that represents paradise to me. A perfect day on the planet. Far from the hub bub of usual activities. A haven. The dog, a Shih Tzu, was Zoey in a favorite place. However she is not with us anymore.  Use this link to buy cards and prints of this painting.

Girl in a Blue Hat

Young woman in a blue hat and blue coat with a mottled green background

Inspired by a vintage black and white photo I found on the internet years ago – and saved in my files. There was only her head and some of her shoulder. So I had to wait until I could complete the picture as I see it in my mind.

Portrait of Dave

Portrait of Dave Frank Henderson, green sweater, blue soft background

Portrait of Dave, 2024 This is my second portrait of Dave Henderson, artist. How do you capture a man with so many talents? I can only hope you can grasp some of his extraordinary talents by viewing this. If not I’ll make another, and another.

Barn with a Boy, and a Duck-2024

The neighboring property has a beautiful barn, and I often see this boy running to feed the poultry. He’s always running. Everyday the barn looks different, and I have taken scores of images. I never tire of it.

The ongoing struggle between nature and man

Both man and bird suffer from their interactions. The European Starling was brought over to American soil  “in 1890, a drug manufacturer, who wanted every bird found in Shakespeare to live in America released 60 starlings in Central Park. After spending a few years nesting modestly under the eaves of the American Museum of Natural History, they went from a poetic fancy to a menacing majority; there are now upward of 200 million birds across North America, where they thrive at the expense of other cavity nesters like bluebirds and woodpeckers, eat an abundance of grain — as well as harmful insects — and occasionally bring down airplanes”¹
