This painting won first place in Somerset County for Professional Acrylics. Also then went on to receive Honorable Mention for the State of NJ. Now hangs in my family room…….!

Not trying to pass this off as an original, but I noticed that I never showed this "copy" I had done of my favorite western artist's painting, "A Dash For The Timber". I mainly did it to see if I could do it, and it will never be sold or passed off as an original by myself. That being said, I was pretty pleased with the result.
The original painting by Frederic Remington was 48”x89” ( I think )
Like a mural size. Mine is 10”x20” I might have been wiser to make it a little bigger for the details, but this is what I decided.

Last Sunday, beautiful sunny, warm day in my neck of the woods, wife and I took a drive into PA specifically for this barn. A long time favorite of mine in Solebury Township, Bucks County. There are so many stone buildings in Pa that I truly admire. Here is the finished piece.

I seem to be in a productive stage this year. I have a clear idea of what I want to paint. This is not always a given, by the way. Just glad the juices are flowing. This one was from a photo I took, from the driver's seat of my Uncle's Buick. The passengers were quite panicked, but I assigned my uncle to hold the wheel so we were fine. The second picture is the photo I took those many years ago ( with a film camera, by the way). Then I decided to recreate it in a winter setting. Here are the pictures

You mean, the paint is flowing?
I saw the photograph before I read your message and thought of John Baeder or somebody like that. Excellent!

High praise, there, mate, if I am right about who you are talking about in John Baeder! He’s actually a new favorite of mine. I definitely do not live in a vacuum. I learn from many other artists. It’s a matter of choosing what things I want to use and what I feel I should avoid. Thank you kindly, sir

One I have recently completed for my brother and sister in law. This is about ten minutes away from where they live. A gift.

New piece, a scene from McCall, Idaho.
Been there, but this is from a reference photo from a good friend.
This one is 20”x16”

I haven’t yet shown this one. A bit of a departure from my country type landscapes. I wanted to try a busy city scene. This is a street in Lisbon, Portugal.

latest piece. Pemaquid Light, Maine. 24”x18” on stretched canvas. I am very happy with how this turned out.

Here is my most recent one. This is ten minutes from my home in NJ.
That’s right, NJ. The Church was started in 1752. In my area there was a very heavy Dutch influence. Anyway, this is Neshanic ( Dutch Reformed ) Church and it has been ver well maintained over the years. The way I have painted it depicts our present time, FYI.

I am playing the trumpet, too. I just wanted to make that clear, in case anyone was wondering. But here is a new one inspired by a photo from a friend in Spring City, Tennessee. This is the Piney River. I am happy with this result.
