Cape Cod artists: Outdoor Studio today, plein air seascape

It was great to be outdoors painting on the ocean today. I think it's so important to mix things up as an artist. I will photograph and publish the painting soon.

Luxury Gifts Online: Landscape commission just completed and off to Page Waterman for framing in time for special anniversary gift!

I just finished a landscape commission, the details of which I will keep quiet until it's presented. It is an anniversary gift. I am delighted at how the piece came together and look forward to seeing it framed. I enjoyed helping to select the frame at Page Waterman Gallery in Wellesley.

Page Waterman has been doing all of my framing for local clients for some time now and never disappoints.

I used to pick up paintings at other frame shops only to find discrepancies in the frame sizes when having several paintings framed at once and even one lackluster frame shop gave me the wrong frame! Page Waterman is first class all the way and offers a full range of lovely frames. Each piece is carefully attended to.

In my floral paintings, I enjoy capturing these lovely Shykoski daffodils in season and painted them from life in my studio. I only wish daffodil season lasted longer!

Contemporary portrait artists: Featured in Wellesley-Weston magazine, Summer 2013

I will add some photos soon—it's a super busy time for me in my studio— but I'm very pleased to be featured in the lovely publication, Wellesley Weston magazine in their Summer 2013 issue, which has just been mailed out. The magazine is an extremely high-quality publication with gorgeous 4/c printing. I was truly honored to be asked for this recognition.

Special Graduation Gifts

I am currently working on several high school graduation portraits. Commissioning a portrait of your child at this time in their life is an exciting and wonderful thing. I can give you a gift card to wrap and the graduate will book a time to meet me at their convenience.

Other gifts for college graduates can be paintings of their school. Contact me about commissioning such a painting, which will be memorable and timeless!
