My paintings this year were inspired by the vital beauty of the natural world…in contrast to the troubling reality we have faced in the human domain: from The Apple Tree to Fall Harvest.

Old Texaco Station, Unionville, NY, 8×10 inches, oil on canvas, 2020
This place is a relic from another time. It stands with conviction on a crossroads in the small upstate town of Unionville, NY. It has always appealed to me and finally I painted it.

$450

The Apple Tree, 14 x 18 inches, oil on canvas, 2020
The Apple Tree is the favorite on our farm. Its beauty this year was unsurpassed. It was the first of many works painted in place during the isolation imposed by the pandemic.

Fall Harvest, 36 x 48 inches, oil on canvas, 2020

Lately, I am fascinated by experimenting with multiple techniques in kiln formed glass. My subject focuses on how Nature watches as a Sentry as we carelessly destroy our environment.

In my studio since March,2020 I have been drawing and painting figures, posing virtually, in ink, silverpoint, watercolor and gouache, then painting those images in glass and glass Frits.

Foot and Leg Study after DaVinci, 10 x 10 inches, underglaze pencil on kiln formed glass, 2019
I was experimenting with drawings from da Vinci and used underglaze pencils on sandblasted glass, then fired the piece to a fuse firing temperature to simulate my drawn works on paper.

NFS

Sunset Coral Curls, 12 x 12 inches, kiln formed glass, 2020
Working directly from the model, I drew her profile with underglaze pencil on sandblasted glass, then added glass Frits and fused all in a high fire glass kiln where magical accidents happen!

$1000

Sentry II, 10 x 10 inches, kiln formed glass using glass Frits, glass vitrigraph stringers, enamel underglaze on glass, 2020
Painting my eyes using underglaze enamel as in peering out from a tree knot viewing Nature’s destruction by humans, I added glass and glass frit and full fused fired the work in a glass kiln.

$1200

Self-Portrait as Sentry, 10 x 10 inches, kiln formed glass, 2020
This piece focuses on my Self-portrait as a Sentry peering out of a tree knot watching as humans carelessly destroy their natural environment.

Until Death Do Us Part/Covid Nightmare, 7.5 x 18 inches, enamel paint on Bullseye Graffitti glass with vitrigraph stringers, 2020
I awoke from nightmares about the terrible risks to everyone during Covid 19, and anxious about the future statistics, I viewed in the glass, patterns of skulls with controversial masks emerging.
