I wanted to show how the choice of background tint changes a drawing, and let you see the process…
Washed Out
This painting was done during the Go Paint! Chippewa Valley event held during May of 2018.
Plein Aire 2021
My plans for 2021 (as of today) include the following Plein Aire events:
Sloatsburg Plein Aire in Rockland County, NY 5/16/2021
Go Paint Chippewa Valley in North West Wisconsin 9/25 – 10/03/2021
Cherry Blossoms
The scene is one with both a pink canopy and a pink carpet. The trees are spaced close enough that their branches are intervoven and the canopy overhead is almost solid. While the weather was still cold, the sun was out and the scene was magical. I worked in ink with a variety of brush pens for about 3 hours.
Grand Central Station Exhibit
My work is included in a pop up exhibit that opened on March 2nd, 2021 in the iconic hall of New York’s Grand Central Station.
Indiana Cardinals
This drawing is done using ink on light blue paper. It measures 12 by 8 inches. It was done on Saturday, 12/19/20, while NYC was blanketed in snow. I set out to draw a cardinal because it is a bird associated with winter.
East 22nd Street in Late November

Under the FDR Expressway
This drawing was done during October 2020 using using markers, ink wash and colored pencils on paper with a beige tint. I used a limited number of warm and cool colors together to create the shadows in the steel structure.
Winter Trees
I painted this landscape from my mother’s studio window while visiting her one Christmas. The painting uses only a few colors because those were the only colors to be seen.
Stuyvesant Town Tree
This drawing was drawn during that magical hour in the early evening when the sun hits the building and trees at just the right angle to maximize drama.
