Land and Seascapes

City dwellers go out into the country for holiday. They return to the city,  filled with energy and joy from their time out in nature. Would not viewing a painting of that same nature bring a portion of that good feeling as well? Da Vinci thought so, as do I.

These are extraordinary moments of time, light and color in places of great natural beauty that inspired me to render them on canvas. 8″x10″ and 5″x7″ paintings come in wood composite frames, larger paintings in wood strip frames. 8″ x 10″ prints with 1/4″ margin are permanent ink on archival matte or high gloss paper, your choice. Prints are $30, shipping included.

If you are interested in purchasing a painting or an 8″ x 10″ print of a painting, please send me an email via my contact form. 8″ x 10″ prints with a 1/4″ margin are $30 US shipping included, within the US.
