Plein Air
This is an ongoing series of studies and paintings that I began as a child. Now numbering in the hundreds, all were done outdoors and on-site. Many are of Hudson Valley subjects and many others were executed in locations across America ranging from the coalmines of Pennsylvania to the cornfields of Nebraska to the Wyoming Rockies. This series has also taken me to such varied locations as the coast of Labrador, the Italian Alps, Northern Ireland and the biggest challenge of all, the Iditarod Trail in Alaska.
