The ultimate charm of the American Midwest landscapes.

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

Irish coast inspiration.

Storm moving out to sea.

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

From the cool green depths to the sky...

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

A golf course on the moon???

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

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

On the horizon is the flat and wide bay.

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

Where you will go after living a good life.

A metaphysical moment in nature where no human can deny the serenity and beauty of nature.

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

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

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

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.

Wish I could…

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

All bark and no bite…um, maybe not.

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

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

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

Full blooded intensity of big nature sky and water.

Everything is changing, the light, the mood.

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.

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

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

A Matisse favorite blown up to giant size.

Felt like it painted itself on its’ own.

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

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.

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

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.

Spring runoff and seven lace-like waterfalls.

The sky above and the sea below filled with life.

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

The birds of the Amazon are ubiquitous.‍

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

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

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

I know there is one in there somewhere.

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

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

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

Three stalwart trees guarding the point.

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

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