CORONAVIRUS: DUE TO THE REQUIREMENT IN NEW YORK FOR RESIDENTS TO STAY HOME, I AM UNABLE TO SHIP PAINTINGS FROM MY STUDIO. THUS, ALL PAINTINGS ARE NOT FOR SALE AT THIS TIME. QUALITY PRINTS ARE AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER BUYING ONE OR MORE. WHEN THE HEALTH CRISIS ENDS, MY ORIGINAL PAINTINGS WILL AGAIN BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Above all else, I am a colorist, with a profound love of atmosphere and light. I've been painting professionally for more than 48 years.
