In watercolor, timing is everything. That's true when you're painting, and it's just as true when finding a subject.

Here's another competition piece from Cape Ann Plein Air. I got to Gloucester Marine Railways at just in time to catch these guys on their morning smoke break. They were in no hurry, which gave me time to sketch them all in quickly before painting the rest of the scene. One of my favorites from the competition.

Another competition piece from Plein Air Litchfield. I found these folks building an addition to the Kent Free Public Library, and thought they made a great subject. There were only three of them, but they moved around a lot, which worked out well for me.

One of my competition pieces for Cape Ann Plein Air.

"Haven Terrace"
Watercolor, 15" x 11"

I painted this standing on Main St in Gloucester. Haven Terrace is a little side street I've probably driven past a hundred times and never really looked at. That's one of the best parts of plein air: it makes you actually see the places you thought you knew.

The main event is tonight from 6 - 8 PM at North Shore Arts Association, where I'll be showing this week's work alongside 36 other artists from across the country. Work is available for purchase, and events continue through the weekend. Details at Cape Ann Plein Air

"Warner Theatre"
Watercolor, 15 x 11

I've been having a great time painting in Litchfield County all week with 30 other artists from across the country. No shortage of subjects here, for sure! The big event is at 4 PM this afternoon at the Five Points Art Center in Litchfield. See Plein Air Litchfield for more info.

Very happy to share that "The Crane at Gloucester Marine Railways" was awarded Third Place in The New England Watercolor Society 2025 Regional Exhibition. This half-sheet watercolor (15" × 22") was painted in the studio earlier this year.

The show is now on view at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA, and runs through January 9, 2026.

If you’re nearby, the opening reception is on Saturday, December 6, 2–4 pm, and I would love to see you there.
