Pen & Ink on hot press paper is one of my favorite ways to work on location. The brevity of the time on site keeps my touch light and fresh. Street scenes are my favorites as people and cars move in an out of the scene keeping me alert for changes in the composition. I use a Sharpie pen directly, no pencil and respond to my environment as quickly and expressively as I can.

The scene is a composition of several photos I took a few years ago while visiting Prague. What a lovely sunny day this was with musicians and dancers! Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in the city and a beautiful historical monument!

I caught this picture as the sun came out at the end of a rainy afternoon.

I found this formation on a wall, while I was walking in a village street in Chalkididi, Greece.

My wife and I were travelling through Melbourne, Victoria, a couple of years ago and I woke up at sunrise one morning and got some great shots which formed the basis of this work.

Ayvalik is a seaside town inhabited since prehistoric ages in Norteastern Aegean. Ayvalık and its environs are famous for the highly appreciated quality of olive oil production. Having had a large Greek population until 1925, the streets of old town exhibit examples of Greek-Ottoman architecture.

A bright summer day on the tony streets of Scarsdale New York. The Dark Horse is the name of an antiques and accessory store that I like in the Village.

I'm a Canadian artist who was lucky to live in the South of France for 5 years. This watercolor was done for the many sketches and photos that I took during my stay. This particular scene was taken in Corsica. The title of the painting is an hommage to French friends of ours, since this was their address.

This street scene was painted Plein Air in July this year for a competition within the business district of Hillsboro, just outside Portland. Close to 50 artists participated-Robert Gamblin was the juror - received an Honorable mention. Woo Hoo!

Cotignac - A little village in Provence that I spent a delightful week some years ago has a very active market that provides many pictures

This was painted from a photograph taken by a friend during a trip through Italy in 2007.

Locronan is a charming, well preserved old village in Brittany. It was established on an ancient sacred Celtic site converted to the Christian cult in the VIIth century by the Irish born Bishop Saint Ronan. I was taken by the lightfilled atmosphere and the pattern of shadows created by the strong backlighting.

This is a painting completly painted out of my mind. Inspired by a visit to chinatown in San Francisco a couple of years ago.

One of very first paintings. Executed mostly on site, in London (1991), in the rain. A TRUE WATERCOLOR.

View of Southern boundary of the park at 40th St. The New York Public Library lies partly in the park, which is privately owned and managed. It was winter so I made the painting from sketches.

Morning light rakes across a street cafe in Croatia. Jet lag had me out roaming before the rest of the world was awake.

While visiting friends in PR, took a lovely walk around Old San Juan. The beautiful, vibrant colors longed to be painted -- also, the strong sunlight, even in Feb.

This painting was painted live at the Los Angeles County Fair. It was almost 100 degrees at 10PM at night, and I was wilted, but went outside the Art Building (blessedly air conditioned), and saw this wonderful food stand lit up in the night.
