From the studio
I paint the harbor the way it looks when you stop trying to see it: fog over the ledges, a red buoy in grey water, the light at four in the afternoon in February.

Commissions and visits
A painting for a particular wall
I take a few commissions a year, built from a conversation about the room, the light and what you want to live with. Or come and see the work in person: the studio is open by appointment most Saturdays.
