Cape Hatteras light. 11x14 original pastel painting. This is one of my very favorite paintings of 2025 due to its abstract simple message plus its accurate representation. #art #pastel #ocean #lighthouse #hatteras #painting

Cape Hatteras. 11x14 original pastel painting. This is a commission that was sold to a private collector. It has a very different message than the more abstract one I posted earlier. This is a message of peace, and of safe harbor. #art #painting #hattaras #pastel #ocean #lighthouse

Seljalandsfoss. 9x12 original pastel painting. Martha and I visited Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland this past September. These falls are of a mind-blowing scale. They fall 197 ft, similar to a 15 story office building, roaring as it desends.

Baie du Mont-St.-Michel. 11x14 original pastel painting. This view looks west towards the Atlantic from the high rampart of this famous French Abbey. This is low tide. The bay is a UNESCO world heritage site, on the border between Brittany and Normandy.

From Denver Colorado: Congratulations to all those who took to the streets on this Hands off Day of Action. My dad fought fascists in WWII and today I fight them too.

“A Frozen Celebration” 12x16 original pastel painting. Boy, did I work hard on this one! I painted it 5 times, each progressively larger, and understanding it better each time. This is a small frozen stream next to a road in Golden Gate State Park, above Golden Colorado.

This is what democracy looks like in Denver Colorado. We do not accept the dismantlement of our Government by a convicted sex offender felon and his unelected billionaire buddy.
