Several years ago I visited New Harbor, Maine, an artists' dream. I'm still reviewing and revising some of the pleinair pieces that I painted there. This boathouse in Back Cove is one of the most frequently painted and photographed boathouses in the state....Read More...
My great grandson loves trains and so do I. I couldn't resist painting the colorful "Chuggington" train set when I saw the light shining through it. It's such fun to be able to relive childhood through grandchildren....Read More...
"Tennessee Timber" is the title given to this oil painting of a logging truck. I was stuck behind this truck on Rt. 70 between Dickson and Waverly. I was captivated by the pattern of light and dark created by the stacked logs and also by the red, white and yellow caution flags....Read More...
Recently the Chestnut Group of pleinair painters brought Skip Whitcomb and Dan Young to Nashville to advance our knowledge of pleinair painting (painting in the open air).

Continuing to paint scenes related to my love of trains brought me to the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. The L&N train trestle across the Cumberland River is a drawbridge and was build in 1850. It is still being used today. You are most likely to see a CSX coal train coming from the coal ...Read More...

Another exciting Portrait Painting Workshop here in Nashville was completed in January. Students concentrated on painting a portrait in the traditional representational style.

As a Nashville portrait artist, I have discovered that it is difficult to sit still for 20 minutes at a time and to do that for 6 hours is impossible for a young person. Emmett at 14 was okay about photographs but not oil portraits from life. His grandmother provided the photo and we painted from the ...Read More...
