On Board records the image of two men sanding on the deck of a cruise ship in partial shadow, perhaps myself and friend Jim Dietze. It also commemorates a sailing trip to Canada via the Erie Canal in September 2019. The weather was sunny but cool.

This painting, Daughter Julie, seated beneath an umbrella is one of several paintings I did of my back yard with chair, table, and a central figure. The painting, referring to my actual backyard. tries to integrate a variety of objects with the figure.

The wife of fellow painter, David Rich, posed for us one afternoon at David's studio. I particularly liked the aggressive pose, the simple palette of violet and green, and the way the close values of the background allowed the figure to emerge from it with clarity.

Another backyard painting, this time with a man reading in shade. Like the other backyard paintings the result here is a visual puzzle. The chair's arm intersects with the book and forms a focal point around which the various dark shapes radiate. The two-dimensional remains constantly in tension with the three dimensional.
