Something powerful about the confluence of two great bodies of waters.

The warm morning glow of dawn in summer, a signal of a new day with fresh possibilities.

The power of big nature based on elements of the South Pacific.

I, along with a group of people, once witnessed a series of UFOs in the night sky over Lake Cayuga in Ithaca, NY. We had many questions, but very few answers.

A moment of stunning beauty, as the mighty Delaware River snake it’s way though rural Pennsylvania on it’s way to the Atlantic.

Wish I could…

A Berber man composing his headwrap in the wind. A commission by a fellow traveler to the Sahara in Morocco.

A golf course on the moon???

In moviemaking parlance, “magic hour” is that alluring transition from afternoon to evening — twilight — when the world of our perceptions changes.

The sun, the focus of all life on our planet.

I have no idea how this title came to be. But It is a soothing painting.

American farmlands have been the bedrock of so many families with the same American dream.

Sometimes a painting is made and lives for many years and then the artist chooses to obliterate it and create something completely new and different…although there can be ideas from the previous painting that survive. This is true for this painting.

Hundreds of thousands of parakeets swarming at dawn preparing to cross the water into the rainforest for the day’s events.

Where you will go after living a good life.

Spring runoff and seven lace-like waterfalls.

We are all on our way somewhere. All things are on their way somewhere.

The birds of the Amazon are ubiquitous.‍

I know there is one in there somewhere.

Storm moving out to sea.

I guess they are friends of the shark, until they aren’t.

Contemplative and calming. Part of the “Sun Series" of paintings.

One of a series of paintings of the ever-shifting dunes in the Moroccan Sahara.

Painted after a major surgery reaffirming my love for the beach and ocean swimming.

I am always impressed by a stand of trees. All part of the same family no doubt. Fascinating.

Early morning mist over the ocean.

The Amazon region is a place of life filled with all kinds of colorful critters.

Everything is changing, the light, the mood.

Off in the distance living their best tree life, undisturbed except for conditions which they are designed to endure. Such a great sense of peace.

Like a giant and soft watercolor with a spiritual quality that changes with the ambient light.

Visiting the Amazon region in Peru makes you think all kinds of new thoughts.

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

The flat landscape of the East End of Long Island produces calming images of reverie and quiet.

The beach, where it all begins and ends for me.

Dusk in Austin, Texas produces those alluring high desert scapes, the dust amplifying the end of daylight.

From the cool green depths to the sky...

A Matisse favorite blown up to giant size.

All bark and no bite…um, maybe not.

End of a long day, time to take stock of all the good things that happened.

A landscape I never actually experienced in life came alive on this canvas. A deep sense of peace and serenity. All is right with the world here on Cherry Lane.

On the horizon is the flat and wide bay.

Trees in perfect synch with each other. Are they all related? They must be.

Three stalwart trees guarding the point.

The ultimate charm of the American Midwest landscapes.

Felt like it painted itself on its’ own.

The sky above and the sea below filled with life.

I think about the 4,000 mile solo hitchhiking trip I took in 1972 to West Coast and back.

Full blooded intensity of big nature sky and water.

From a deep place in the unconscious describing an untouched place of serenity in deep woods.

Irish coast inspiration.
