I invite you to embark on an ongoing photographic odyssey - one of exotic locales, colorful characters, strange customs and untold adventures. Not to be overshadowed, New York City, a microcosm of the world, pulsates with art, fashion and culture, with surprises and contradictions all its own. Long Island beckons too, from North Fork vineyards to South Shore beaches. I hope my paintings and photos inspire and inform.

Boston Public Gardens
This is a painting I did in acrylics, back in 1995, when I lived in Boston. I was still very much influenced back then by the pointillistic technique of Monet. I have since moved to oils, which are very rich and beautiful and allow glazes. /paintings
Northport Sunset
A watercolor scene in Long Island, painted many years ago. I used magic white to accentuate the reflections on the water./paintings

Snowy Landscape at Sunset. "School of Visual Arts"


This is the completion of a painting I copied as part of a course at the "School of Visual Arts". I added bright cadmium yellow to the sky to add brilliance, and i added yellow to the cadmium red to increase the orange tones of sunset. I also smoothed the snow into flat interweaving planes, simplifying the pattern, broken by occasion bushes. I added a few highlights to the diagonally placed stream and I added flake white and yellow with reds to the central snow, showing it as an area on which the last fading rays of light illuminated. I have shown the earlier version of the painting as well, to demonstarte the most recent adaptions.
The teacher is Lucy Gould Reutzfeld, and she is teaching us to create luminous light filled landscapes. Her website is below...
