Here’s a photo of some recent work. The winter scene is from a terrific storm some years ago in Trenton/Princeton, NJ. Now that the weather is warming, I can bring myself to take up a winter subject. Behind the winter subject is the beginnings of a new painting. I’ve finished just a small portion of

Here is a photo of some of the recent work. The large painting (‘Two Cakes,’ 48″ x 48″) is nearly done–I hope! This photo, by the way, was taken with my new Nikon D5200. It was high time I upgraded my camera. I am going to replace some of the awful photos in the gallery.

Second Coldest Spring on Record

According to the papers, that is. The upshot is the boating season here on Lake Erie has been slow to start. We were going to finish getting The Betty Jane ready for launching today but the rain will delay us. We aren’t the only ones affected by the cold, damp weather. Most of these shrink-wrapped

5th Street After art history, the widow drove me to my slum studio. Its only north-facing window overlooked the vacant lot where I saw a shootout my first night there. Barely 30, they hadn’t suspected her husband’s bad heart. Dying, he had betrayed their now backward-pointing future. We hung there, our hollow faces reflecting the

And today it’s windy and COLD! Even Buddy, our Silky Terrier, was hesitant to approach the shore. Here he is screwing up his courage to walk

Poem: The Thing She Said to Me

Bio . Fiction Article

The Thing She Said to Me The poets and rockers didn’t go beyond Avenue A, where the poverty was unromantic. My fifth-floor walk-up (Ave. C and 9th) looked over the rooftops of Manhattan, to the sea beyond. Floating above the world, the carnival-lit World Trade Center tethered me every night. Around the corner, the heartless barmaid

Some of today’s work: ‘Grandfather’ is large by my recent standards–40″ x 60″. The drawing was transferred using a grid. When the drawing was done, I inked it, that is, I went over it with India ink. Then I  covered the surface with an thin tone of  raw umber and lead white. For larger paintings
