For my father the fisherman.


The entire painting was done with palette knives. A little different from my usual style. Hey, you have to try different strokes.

I always enjoy painting NYC scenery, it's vibrant colors, it's neighborhoods and it's fullnes of life.

This is where I buy fresh sea food. Straight out of the water.













This view is from the Lobster Shanty Restaurant in Pleasant Beach.

This view is directly from behind the Molly Pitcher Hotel in Red Bank, NJ.

This painting is a continuation of 21st century history of the United States series that I'm portraying. The painting is a montage of events that occurred in the same time period between October 30th and the presidential election. Mostly it shows the devastation of the storm effecting millions of people in the northeast and at the same time of the election. It shows the major political participants in the dealing with the storm and the election as well as the damage.

This is an annual event that takes place in Asbury Park, NJ prior to Halloween. It's well participated by the public and the costumes are creative and colorful. Happy Halloween!!!



Well. . . you make your own conclusion as to what's going on. Great way to spend an afternoon!






I was walking my dog in Thompson Park and came across three young ladies on horseback riding in Marlu Lake. They volountered to take Renzo on the horse and he absolutely loved it. I took a photo and made a painting of it.


I see this every morning on my way to work. So I decided to paint it.

In Honor of New York City rebirth and in memory of all who perished on 911.

This is the 3rd painting in a series of 3 in the rebirth of NYCity Skyline. This ship was built from steel from the defunct World Trade Center buildings.

This is my second of a series of 3 paintings depicting the new World Trade Center Buildings in NY City. This is digitized with a posturized effect of the original painting 1.

This is my first painting of a series of 3 paintings showing the rebirth of NYC skyline with the new world trade center buildings. In the background there's the shadows of the destroyed buildings.






There's a lot of interpretations to this (haunting?) scene. You make your own.

This painting was done way back in 1980. It's not for sale, since it's owned by a family relative. But prints are available.




This painting was done on location in 1971



































My daughter scenic photo of her California travel. Now she has the original and I only have the print to sell.
