The Sculptor’s Table
The ink line drawing, “The Sculptor’s Table” is a look at the interior of a sculptor’s small studio. We see him in an introspective moment. The scene is ambiguous, as we can’t really say if he is envisioning his next project, or perhaps lost in a moment of sadness. The outside window is close by, but he is contained in the small room which holds his work and his tools.

Women at an Art Show
An original ink drawing of two women at an art show—their attire, and their graceful poses part of the assembled art. art size: 17 x 21 inches
I wanted a feeling of the summer day at an exhibit at the Metropolitan. The entire environment was beautiful—it was impossible to separate art from viewers— they were all part of the vision. So I entwined the lines form one form to the next.

Dance of Two Cultures Mural – Brunswick, ME
8 x 32 foot public mural
11 Pleasant St, Brunswick, Maine
Sponsor: Brunswick Trinidad Sister City AssociationThe Brunswick-Trinidad Sister City Association, sponsored this mural in Brunswick, Maine, celebrating Brunswick’s friendship with Trinidad, Cuba. Joshua Chamberlain, Henry Longfellow, James Bowdoin, José Marti, Harriet Beecher Stowe are among the 50 Mainers and Cubans represented in the joyful throng dancing through the painting. The mural measures 8 x 32 feet and is located at 11 Pleasant Street, Brunswick.
The Mural was finished and hung in 2008. I had 4 indispensable assistants for this mural. Jen, my wife, is a constant aid in these big mural projects. Here she was a model, a huge help enlarging and transferring the initial drawings and most importantly she plied her brush skills painting many of the detail sections of the wall, including a lot of the “artwork” included in the piece. Without the brains and skills of Ernest (Bev) Bevilacqua and Dan Atkins we would not have had a wall to hang the mural on. Their brilliant plans and skills in construction were key. And finally I need to thank Susan Weems who launched this project and called me to paint it, and who kept us all going throughout the long process of creating a mural.

November Churchyard
This atmospheric watercolor of a Maine churchyard by Christopher Cart was originally a cover illustration for a book about hauntings in Maine by DownEast Books. It is a beautiful painting in its own right. It gives us that feeling of sad beauty and eternity that Maine natives know when the last brilliant Maple leaves have fallen, and winter is waiting in the wings.

Portrait of Laura
Oil portrait of a Maine activist. The subject stands on a staircase in the Maine State House. Her beautiful youthful face is in contrast to her working attire and the hard surfaces of her surroundings. The butterflies which have followed her inside add a magical touch to “Portrait of Laura.”

One day you wake,
a silent quake
your path’s compass turna new day is stuck
to a limitless line,
when youngsomeday, one day
