I use the streets scenes of Baltimore as the subjects of much of my work. While urban landscapes captivate most of my interest, I also find myself on the beaches  of South Carolina and farms of Maryland's Eastern shore. I am always working on several paintings at a time, moving locations with the sun in order to capture the light and shadow of each scene at its optimum time of day. Paintings may take days/weeks and sometimes a wait through changing seasons to complete.      I believe painting on location gives my work the feeling of “being there,” allowing the viewer to enter the scene, look in the windows, and acquire a sense of place and time. I participate in a couple of plein air events yearly,   but being a 'slow' plein air painter, I mostly like taking my sweet time to complete a painting.
