Landscapes

Moonlit Night

11 x 14 oil

$1100

Storm at Sea

16 x 20   oil on canvas

$2400

My painting depicts a ship at the mercy of the wind, currents, and waves. It pitches, rolls, yaws, heaves, and sways, but has not overturned and swamped. Hope is represented by a break in the clouds.
I was inspired by the maritime painter Ivan Aivazovsky, one of the greatest masters of marine art. He painted 6,000 seascapes in the 1850's.
My favorite color is blue, so it was enjoyable for me to paint this "Storm at Sea."

Cashel

11 x 14 oil on linen panel

$1100

The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster as early as the 4th century. In the mid-5th century, St. Patrick baptized King Aengus there in a ceremony attended by thousands. Patrick accidentally brought the King's crosier down on the King's foot, bringing great applause from the crowd who thought it was part of the ceremony. 

Eilean Donan at Sunset

16 x 20 oil on linen

$2500

This may be, arguably, the most picturesque castle in the Highlands of Scotland. My ancestors helped the MacDonald Clan storm this castle in 1560. 

Into the Woods

9 x 12 oil on linen

$1100

The late day sunlight signals the end to a perfect day. 

The Witches Tower

12 x 16 oil on linen panel

$1800

Families line up for blocks to climb the circular staircase at the annual open house of the Witches Tower in Prospect Park. Once on top, vistas of the Twin Cities and the Mississippi River are enjoyed. There is no resident witch or flying monkeys, but an ever increasing likelihood that an eagle can be seen as it soars nearby.
