Welcome to my world of Urban Landscape Painting.... unveiling the extraordinary in the ordinary!

Dead End

Looking for THAT special painting that expresses YOUR uniqueness? Maybe you need something cool in the background of your ZOOM meetings? Or maybe you just LOVE ART and like things that are "different" or unusual.
Well, you are in the right place!
I go to 'ordinary' places and unveil their extraordinary-ness for you to enjoy, because living with original art can transform us by lifting our spirits and inspiring us EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Using oil paints and the language of shape, color and design, I transform everyday scenes into Urban Landscape Paintings.

Initial impressions can be deceiving. Many just see dirty gritty grayness in a street scene, but there is worth in all things....we sometimes have to look a little harder to see it! When I walk down a city street I can get excited by the sights and sounds...the colors, textures and shapes!

Sarah Baptist's Sir Speedy's (mini mart) plein air painting in progress

Urban landscapes get my blood pumping! I see possibilities in these settings.
I see design, rhythm, color and something that fascinates me about these scenes. Definitely, there is rhythm and grace I hope to convey and after all ... this is the world many of us live in and operate in everyday, so lets take a look at it!

I go out  on location and paint what I see. This is called 'plein air painting'. There is nothing like being out on the street, reacting to the light, sounds and sometimes the people while painting. You have to focus and respond quickly because conditions change. It's kind of a spontaneous art/sport!

When the weather doesn't cooperate I'll use photos and other references and paint in my home art studio. This work is a bit more abstract. It has been developing in the past several years but I have not shown this work very much so many are seeing it for the first time. It is fun to explore varied ways of painting. I enjoy that and I believe it makes it more fun for you the viewer and collector.

Variety is the spice of life, right!

All of my art relates, in some way, to each other and it all makes me a better artist in the long run and that is the goal...be the best artist I can be.

Please take a moment to enjoy looking at the paintings I've collected for you in these GALLERIES.
