Prints

These prints are created using zinc plates on which the images are developed using a variety of drawing and soft ground processes. They are then printed in limited editions. In some instances the skies have been tinted by rolling a tone onto an inked, wiped plate. In other cases, color is added by hand after the prints have dried.

Prints are matted in cream, acid-free mats.

Framed prints are matted and framed in silver chrome frames with plexiglas.

Prints can be purchased without mats or frames – prices on request.

Tulip Study

One snowy Saturday in late February I was at the market gathering the week's vegetables and found myself considering the extravagance of a bunch of tulips. Spending the afternoon drawing their image proved to be not only justification of the purchase but the hopeful gift of the eventuality of Spring's arrival. Thus, this print reminds me of late winter grayness and the annual assurance that Spring does, indeed, eventually arrive.

Tulip Trio

When winter sets in, the fresh flowers offered at a variety of markets prove to be completely irresistible as a way to lift one’s spirits. That was the case with these tulips, which then became the subject of a drawing and successive print.

Two Boscs and a d'Anjou

This pear trio puts me in mind of a group of frumpy middle-aged people. They wear a few battle scars and their figures have slipped a bit, but they've still got more than a few interesting thoughts and ideas to share with the world.

Victorian Summer

The screen door, the cool darkness behind it, and the geranium in the crock somehow epitomize summer. It’s not hard to find this scene. It was in my childhood; it’s right down the road now. For many of us, the summers of youth lay behind a screen door like this one.

Vita's Watering Cans

On a visit to the gardens at Sissinghurst I came upon these watering cans situated by a wall hosting a leafy curtain. They were clearly long-used and posed in a way that made the composition of this drawing appear before my eyes. Now they are a visual reminder that allows me to return at will to that setting and day.

Vulture Roosts

Though these naked trees were not inhabited when I drew them, they were clearly the kind of place vultures would be likely to gather. I found them at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, an ideal place for anyone who loves to see birds.

Wash Day

Much of my work is about ordinary, everyday events or items which strike me as beautiful in their simplicity. The sight of laundry drying in the breeze is one of these events. The person who got up this morning to wash those sheets undoubtedly will enjoy a sense of accomplishment tonight when they’re back on the bed, clean, sweet-smelling and a little stiff. I feel a similar sense of accomplishment when I’ve finished a new print.

Wells Cathedral

The color of this odd blue door, tucked under an archway at Wells Cathedral and contrasted with this display of hollyhocks, made this an irresistible visual feast. On the other side of the wall encircling the close there was a serious lawn bowling contest under way while I drew this scene. Consequently, this picture gives me fond memories of a glorious midsummer English afternoon.

Winston's Goldfish

At Winston Churchill's home, Chartwell, in Sussex, England, there is a pool filled with goldfish beside which sits a "thinking chair" that belonged to the great man. The idea of doing a print of his goldfish had appeal. I combined the fish with a pond inspired by one alongside a cottage where I was staying when I visited Chartwell, so these are Winston's fish in an amended setting.

Winter Garden

The Olson house in Cushing, made famous by Andrew Wyeth's painting, has gray, weathered siding. One of the kitchen windows has a collection of geraniums in it, as was the case when Christina lived there. This print is my version of the window and is just the kind of garden any of us can have in the dead of winter.

Winter in Happy Valley

I drove past this scene outside Amherst Massachusetts every day for three years and finally decided to do a drawing. It was most appealing in winter when the dried leftovers from the harvest stood out starkly and the distant hills were shaded with areas of snow and trees. The stippling in the sky was an experiment which happily satisfied me when the print was completed.

Winter Studio

This interior was drawn from the view down the hallway to the doorway of my studio. I was intrigued by the visual layers in the scene. Beyond the open door is the stove that becomes the focus of activity for at least half of each year as it adds warmth and a center of conversation during the winter. And, beyond that, are the hemlocks that provide a backdrop outside the window throughout the year.

Winter Tree Farm

The sections of ordered planting on this vast tract of land became much more apparent after a heavy snowfall. The snow revealed the existence of considerably more young trees than I’d first seen when I passed by in the Fall. The clarity snow brings to the land is at times a bit like washing the windows for the first time in years. You see the world in a whole new light.

Winterscape

There is a clear definition to the land which takes place after winter’s snow removes some of the visual distractions of vegetation. I never tire of looking at these scenes. Leafless trees show their varied skeletons against a high-contrast background; high points of land, partially bared by wind clearly define contours; and, changing daylight puts on an amazingly delicate shadow show.

Winterscape II

The rolling hills of central Pennsylvania provided the inspiration for this print. Like many of my winter scenes, it is an image born from my fascination with the way trees and the bits of foliage that remain on the landscape in winter are visually etched in the snow once the fields are enrobed.

Zinnias

In a summer when my zinnias were highly successful I had drawing material well into the autumn. The endless variety this species offers with respect both to color and size makes them an excellent drawing model. They also allow me to believe that summer has not quite completely passed.
