Market Place

This is a painting that I completed recently of the Market Place in Guilford. The Market Place is a hopping lunch time hangout and it also sells groceries. The medium of the painting is oil on panel.

Breakwater Books

This painting was a commission by the owner of the store. It is on the green in Guilford, CT. I started this in the spring when the cherry trees were in bloom. It is a great little bookstore with some pretty nice art books, among other things. It is right next door to a wonderful chocolate shop. I'm having cards made to sell at the shop as well.

Strawberry Hollow Farm

A few weeks ago, I set up across the street from Strawberry Hollow Farm and painted a study for this picture. Autumn was in full bloom, and the pumpkins and mums were lined up outside of the cute little shop. From the study, I painted a 10"x20" painting, which really captured the panoramic view and the autumn warmth. I sold the study and the larger painting to the owner of the  farm yesterday. I could tell that he really liked it. It was a lot of fun to paint, and a terrific subject. The farmer has a lovely piece of property with a nice pond. He says in the Spring, the flowers are beautiful around the pond. I asked permission to come back to paint the pond area, and he said that I can come back any time, so I'm looking forward to painting there this Spring.

Street Painting of Guilford


I finished this painting of the market in Guilford on the green. I love the way the sunlight bounced off of the buildings. Guilford has some quaint old shops in the center of town that are usually very busy and fun to visit. This painting is featured at the exhibit now on display at the Woodbridge Town Library, Woodbridge, CT.
