"Winter in the Park"<br />30x24" oil - available - #827<p>That would be the Plaza Hotel in the distance, looking from the southeast corner of Central Park.</p> "Light of the World"<br />30x24" oil - available - #10-12<p>This painting was made from a sketch painted while inside the 200 year-old Cathedral in Malaga, Spain. The initial reason for my visit there in early 2003 was prompted by my father's sudden illness while on vacation with my mother. This painting is a response to our sense of dependence on a God we can't see but who sustains us, meets us in our need, the One who is the Source of life, light, and beauty.</p>
"Conversation at Day's End"<br />20x16" oil -<font color=CD1414>sold</font>- #7-8<p>I painted these newly-wed friends one autumn evening while they dined upstairs at Le'toile Restaurant in Charlottesville.</p> "Dancing in Light"<br />12x16" oil -<font color=CD1414>sold</font>- #9-35<p>My daughter set to learning Irish dance soon after our arrival in Virginia. This piece was developed from sketches made of one of her fellow dancers, an energetic young lady named Meg.</p>
"Companions on the Spanish Coast"<br />16x20" oil - <font color=CD1414>sold</font>- #8-33<p>In the distance you see the city of Malaga on the Mediterranean coast, and the high peak above Granada faintly in the sky above. Friends walk in conversation after work, beside the striking blue water on a February evening.</p> "Reds & Whites"<br />20x16" oil - available - #703<p>Just flowers on the table. That's all.</p>
"October on the Lawn" -or- "Two Books, Two Phenomena; One Lord Over All"<br />16x20" oil -<font color=CD1414>sold</font>- #10-13<p>The commissioned piece you see here, besides being an outdoor painting, is a philosophic piece centered in a viewpoint on the Christian Faith. It echoes a tension expressed in a painting by Rafael, a copy of which hangs in the University of Virginia's Cabell Hall you see in the background. In the older painting Plato is pointing his hand upward, signifying a concern with universals, while Aristotle's emphasis is downward, signifying particulars.</p> "Highland Flight"<br />24x30" oil - available - #F1103<p>A couple of those prehistoric-looking Great Blue Herons, at Lake Moomaw in far western Virginia.</p>
"Beginning"<br />16x20" oil -<font color=CD1414>sold</font>- #06-46<p>A particular man and woman begin their journey toward marriage at the National Cathedral garden in Washington, D.C.</p> "Currituck Lighthouse"<br />10x10" oil - available - #716<p>"OK," I said, "you guys head on back to the beach house while I aim my easel toward the red brick of this amazing thing that's set against the blue sky." This tower sits along the North Carolina outer banks, just south of the Virgina line.</p>
