  • 1939 Lincoln Continental Zephyr prototype

    1939 Lincoln Continental Zephyr prototype (6)

    From the 2012 Fall AACA meet at Hershey, Pennsylvania, an unrestored and unique gem (almost - it's one of two, but the other is a fully restored show car, and this is vastly preferable to my taste).
     
  • Barns and farmscapes

    Barns and farmscapes (11)

    Old barns and farms were my first and remain my favorite architectural landscape subjects.
     
  • Flowers and foliage

    Stopping to stare and be grateful for their existence.
     
  • Portraits

    Portraits (14)

    After many years of avoiding them, I'm working on portrait drawing. A very different world.
     
  • The Chair

    The Chair (9)

    In the winter of 2007 - 2008, I did a series of sketchbook drawings of an old fireside chair that Tina brought with her from Philadelphia when we moved to Marietta. I go back to it from time to time when I want to draw something difficult and familiar.
     
  • White Oak Mill

    White Oak Mill (5)

    Less than two miles from my house, hidden away on a quiet country road in a fold of the rolling landscape, is an old mill with once grand old house and a smaller one behind it, slowly crumbling back to the earth.
     
  • Crow series July 2011

    Crow series July 2011 (4)

    A crow, stuffed by my father, that I've had for many years but not paid much attention to briefly became an obsession.
     
  • Maine retreat, June 2011

    Maine retreat, June 2011 (16)

    A ten day personal retreat, staying at a remote rustic camp on a peninsula in northeastern Penobscot Bay, where I spent several memorable summer vacations with my children. I bicycled, rowed in a little dory, read books, and started drawing again. These pages are from my sketchbook that week.
     
  • Adirondack landscapes 2009

    Adirondack landscapes 2009 (12)

    The high peaks region of northern New York state's Adirondack mountains is one of my favorite places in the world. I did this group of sketches from the trail while I was staying at Adirondak Loj for ten days in the summer of 2009.
     
  • Pipes

    Pipes (56)

    For a few years, I was an avid fan and collector of artisan carved briar tobacco pipes. That ended in 2014 when I quit and sold my entire collection, but these are a few of the many drawings I did during my period of obsession.
     
  • Forgotten machinery

    Forgotten machinery (11)

    Old machines, abandoned and left to crumble in the elements, or in use but staying honest about their lives as workhorses.
