I recently finished up Starboard Tack pictured in situ below. This work on canvas is sized at 30″x15″.
Most of these sailing paintings sell quickly. If you have a size you’d like in mind, please let me know, and I’ll be sure to create some in that size as I work on more over the winter.
Did you know that I have an in situ online gallery where you can picture available work hanging in different spaces? Find it here.
Thank you to everyone who stopped out for the 2023 Studio Tour. It’s always great to see you and I appreciate the support.
Also thank you to Mark Stutzman who visited and shot this video during the tour.
If you weren’t able to make it for the tour, and would like to visit, please call or email to schedule a time.

The Garrett County Artist Studio Tour is less than two weeks away – on July 22-23, 2023, from 11 am – 5 pm daily. This tour showcases county artists’ working studios. Residents and tourists are encouraged to travel the scenic byways of Garrett County to meet local artists and view them at work.
If you cannot make the tour but would like to visit my studio, please get in touch, and I’ll be happy to set up a time for you to stop by.
My studio is located at 2355 Turkey Neck Road, Swanton, MD. 21561.
Pick up a Studio Tour brochure at the Garrett County Arts Council and other locations around the county. Or, download the program and map here.
This week Garrett County celebrates the National Road Festival in Grantsville, Maryland – an annual event that celebrates the historic National Road, also known as U.S. Route 40. The National Road Festival is celebrated along the road across Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
The National Road was one of the first federally-funded highways in the United States and was built in the early 1800s to connect the eastern seaboard to the western frontier. It played an important role in the country’s westward expansion and is recognized as a National Scenic Byway.
I always enjoy visiting Grantsville and have painted some subject matter from the area more than once, including Stanton’s Mill and the Casselman River Bridge which served as an important link on the National Road from 1813 to 1933.
If you find yourself in Grantsville, visit Spruce Forest Artisan Village and Penn Alps Restaurant and Craft Shop. The Craft Shop carries my cards and prints along with a variety of talented artisans’ work.
It’s hard to think about summer, but it will be here before we know it.
Please save the date for the weekend of July 22nd and 23rd, 2023, for the annual Garrett County Artist Studio Tour. The Studio Tour allows you to meet and greet with the talented artists in and around Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County in their studios.
One of my favorite events of the year, my studio will be open and ready with new art.
Below is a sneak peek at an untitled piece that might be on view, provided it does not find a new home beforehand.
Stay tuned to this website and my social media for more details over the coming months.
