SlainteImages > “Howard’s Retreat” Jefferson County, WV 8x16 oil, $350 This was the first of what I hope will be several paintings focusing on the delightful property owned by one of Jefferson County’s equally delightful residents.
SlainteImages > “Teamwork” based on a photograph by Denny Crosby, Shepherdstown, WV 24x40 oil, $1200 I’d been wanting to do a painting of a working team … once had a pair of the largest mules in West Virginia … but hadn’t quite found the right subjects to photograph and study for an eventual painting. Lo and behold, the perfect image had already been captured by Denny Crosby at a local horse event that I didn’t even know had taken place. Thanks, Denny, for being at the right place at the right time. I can only hope that I’ve done justice to your wonderful photo.
SlainteImages > “Princess Street Sentinels” Shepherdstown, WV., 12x24 oil, $350 In my mind I see these lonely buttresses as statues … a footnote in Shepherdstown history keeping us in mind of “times gone by …” Our past history is so palpable that you can, well …. see it.
SlainteImages > “Johnny’s Quarry” Jefferson County, WV 8x16 oil, $350 Placid, quiet, and a sense of the “wild” in this little-known quarry. Don’t ask, I can’t tell ….
SlainteImages > “WV Spring Variations #8” 8x10 oil, $250. These paintings are repetitions of “50 stroke” paintings, based on a scene outside Berryville, Va. The initial larger painting and the first two variations were done on site. Subsequent variations have been done in studio, always with the original painting … the mother ship as I like to refer to it … right in view. I think each variation, done at different times, has its own feel and excitement. This has been an interesting progression and one that I’ve begun to utilize on other subjects. Breaking a landscape or still life down into its essence is great fun, a confidence builder, and compositionally insightful.
SlainteImages > “WV Spring Variations #6” 5x9 oil $150. These paintings are repetitions of “50 stroke” paintings, based on a scene outside Berryville, Va. The initial larger painting and the first two variations were done on site. Subsequent variations have been done in studio, always with the original painting … the mother ship as I like to refer to it … right in view.

SlainteImages > “The Working Men’s Club” in Sorrento, Italy. 24x30 oil, $850. I had finished my lunch in a small street café across from the open air terrace of the working man’s club and had been attracted to the three dimensional mural that had been painted on the back wall. I never really noticed the bar tender sitting in the doorway until I got home and studied my photos carefully in preparing to paint this interesting scene. The lone figure in the doorway begs the question as to “where were the working men?” At work, of course.
SlainteImages > “Waiting in Cannes” France, 24x26 oil, $850 It was noon on a Sunday and as I turned the corner of this hilly street, I found this older women intently staring up the side street. Her anticipation was palpable, and I could only think that she was awaiting the arrival of her family for a Sunday dinner.
