About the Series, from the Artist:

I live in a town that's called by-the-sea (Manchester-).  This town has inspired painters since before Winslow Homer painted at "my" Singing Beach.  Edward Hopper, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Fitz Hugh Lane and so many other fine artists all spent time painting the beaches and harbors of Cape Ann, which includes Manchester as well as Gloucester, Rockport and Essex. 

So I come by my inspiration to paint the shore honestly.  But I am also inspired by my Midwestern roots and annual trips not only to Chicago and Minneapolis, but our adopted home of Iowa and new love, South Dakota.  You will see varied subjects for my landscapes, which expands from time-to-time to include glimpses of Ireland, the land of my ancestors.  I've also include some still lifes and figures here.
