Living and painting the wild horses ,ocean and wildlife of Assateague and Chincoteague Island has expanded my love of painting for the last twenty eight years.The diversity in my maritime paintings has intensified from living on Eastern Shore and in the tropical Caribbean.Now retired and living full time on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico has inspired my painting to a new level I have not felt since I was learning to paint".

Two new Vieques Oil Paintings
These were finished this past week. They are each 9x12 inches, and are oils. I am still painting almost every day and am quite versatile in my subject matter. It is time to start some new ones of Vieques as what I am currently painting is Chincoteague Island scenes. These two paintings will go into a local Vieques art gallery for sale. The window is from an abandoned house in Monte Santo barrio. And the other one is of the caves at Navio Beach.

"La Chata" oil painting, Vieques Island, Puerto Rico
"La Chata" features a late afternoon on the beach. This beach is close to my home. When my daughter was young we would walk with our dogs along this beach, and spend countless hours beach combing this stretch of beach. La Chata is a favorite for the local surfers, especially during the winter months. I remember when there was just a few houses along the beachfront here, it is not like that anymore. The beach is still great with reefs and interesting shoreline.

Paintings in progress..
My current art studio is a spare bedroom, the due to the heat of the summer. The third floor studio was without air conditioning, so I was spending all my time in the ocean. Now I am painting almost daily.

Navio Cave , Vieques Island Puerto Rico... Oil Painting
This is one of the latest oil paintings I have finished of Vieques. I usually paint on several paintings at one time as the oils need time to dry in between layers.
