 I did all the watercolor art for this packaging, including the likeness of Kevin Costner. This is just coming out now and will be available to purchase by mid December.

Another photo/drawing blend image

This one is an exploration of an image that does not involve people.

It's been a while but here are some samples of a style I have been developing. These are self initiated.

 Here is another painting of the morning workouts at the track.

Waiting on the Track

 With the Saratoga racing season approaching and the recent news that the flat track will be open at near capacity, it seemed like a good time to start posting my Saratoga race track paintings. This one is the most recent. It was just delivered to Spa Fine Art, the premier gallery in Saratoga Springs, NY. Early mornings are very busy during the meet with workouts here on the main track and the Oklahoma training track.

Fine Cooking

These watercolors appear in the June/July 2020 issue of Fine Cooking magazine. This was quite a departure for them as they traditionally use photography.

Samuel Adams Faneuil Hall Tap Room

Sam Adams opened its long awaited tap room near Faneuil Hall and the famous Sam Adams statue in late January. I was commissioned to do a large blueprint style mural for the interior. Here are a couple of shots from the opening. Cheers!

Rye, NH

This is a view from Brackett Road near the coast in Rye, my favorite place to be-especially in summer. Oil on linen. 32" x 18"

Veggie Art

And now, something completely different! These images were done with ACTUAL fruit & vegetables. And in the case of the beer pints, all the grains, hops & ingredients that go into beer making.

Rotoscope Animation

I have been working on a demo of my rotoscope animation  in a movie credit sequence style. Have a look.

Smuttynose

Smuttynose Brewing Company has totally revamped their packaging with my watercolors. Each beer depicts a different, iconic location in their home state, New Hampshire. Cans even have the GPS coordinates for each location. See the Boston Globe story announcing the brand refresh:

Albany Convention Center Murals

Close to two years ago, I was asked to propose a series of murals that would be printed as wallpaper and hung in the convention center that, at the time was just a hole in the ground. The ribbon cutting was today.
The murals tout the unique and rich history of Albany as well as it's natural and cultural assets. There is a companion web site were one can click on any of the elements and get a couple of paragraphs of description or history.
Below are photos of the main mural as well as close up sections. Five additional themed murals will  be posted soon.
