My paintings that have been included in the prestigious National Arts for the Parks have been from the Maryland and DC area, especially the Potomac River and the C&O Canal National Historical Park. Two recent ones of the C&O Canal are Dappled Light and Autumn Connections shown here. Other favorite areas are the picturesque rolling hills of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

In my book 14 Formulas for Painting Fabulous Landscapes published by North Light Books, I examine in detail the plein air process and includes many examples with step-by-step demonstrations. The oil paintings from my book follow the painting gallery below.
