Fortunate is the way I feel at times. I have lived in this same neighborhood all my life. Not because I need to live here it is because I want to live here. My neighbors old and new are respectful and considerate and very helpful at times of need. I cannot say enough good things about them. My new neighbors from another country noticed how beautifully everyone took care of their homes and decided to plant some beautiful red floral arrangements in front of their home. This inspired me to create this original Oil Painting. Thank you, Marie!!!

In the past I have written about how my visual art is sometimes musical to me. I even named some of my oil paintings that were painted with music in mind. all the other Arts inspire this same visual response. More Artists should look at prose and literature the same way.

This brings me to my new creation. Using only a poem written by my Artist Friend Karen A Smith. Karen wrote: "Especially outside my door the daffodils are blooming while birds are singing the pale blue sky.

Especially outside my door the daffodils bend together as the strong wind pushes the space between them around. Especially outside my door the spaces between the daffodils sway around as the birds are singing the pale blue sky. Especially outside my door the daffodils bloom." Tell me how you like it and how it makes you feel. I would LOVE to know!

In my youth, I would visit my relatives upstate and there was a wide variety of china and ceramic table settings. Most were very much like this painting. All different styles and colors. I was always fascinated by this because of the beauty and delicacies of the designs. I never could figure out why they had handles. Even at my young age I could not get my finger in the handle. I was of course instructed at the proper two-finger hold. Every time I see one It brings back great and loving memories. Enjoy your memories too.

Purple! It is not a difficult color to work with or mix. To get the exact purple color you want is another story. I remember in my classes years ago the instructor told the class of 20 to mix the color of a STOP Sign. None of us got it right. That was my problem with purple this week. It is too complicated too explain in detail but I went through every tube of purple, blue and red. Mixed many many combinations that didn't work. I went into the deep spaces of my oil paint drawer. There it was never opened BELLINI "Cobalt Violet". I purchased this tube of paint in 1972 from "Ralph" at the hardware store on Mill St. in Bristol, PA. I had to pry the cap off the tube, but it was still usable. And it solved the problem. I hope you like the results. It took a long time to get here!

I don't know why I am attracted to old and worn-out materials. anything that has made it through the test of time I suppose. Or the history surrounding the object or place. I think if it was used it was appreciated and needed. I also love the mix of this color and its effect on the painting. Looks like an easy painting but I will suggest to other painters to stay away from molding if they don't use rulers.

Having some FUN! We all heard the expression "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries". It was a song with music by Ray Henderson and lyrics by Lew Brown, published in 1931. Ethel Merman introduced this song in George White's Scandals of 1931. A Rudy Vallée version, recorded in 1931, spent five weeks in the top-10 pop music charts. Re introduced in 1953 the year I was born. HUMMMMMMMMM. "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". Well if not the cherries those Apple a day might help If all else fails have a beer and relax.

As an Artist, I feel it is my job to express my thoughts and feelings about our world through my oil paintings. Included in those thoughts is my Irish heritage of which I am proud. Considering all of this, my main goal every day is to be happy and healthy and share this feeling with those I love. Laughter and silliness enter into this child-like attitude. Our world has many terrible, scary, and upsetting situations happening. In the arts, we express the need to go forward, and never give up. Tomorrow is another day. So in the pursuit of happiness and laughter, I present to you my silly Oil Painting. Title: Please Don't Cry, Medium: Oil on Linen Panel, Size: 9 x 12", Price: $1000 USD

I would LOVE to have something positive to say, but as you know it is getting more and more difficult. There is still lots of good taking place in our world. I see it every day and participate. We see on the news children are at risks for situations I never thought or imagined. The elderly finding that the world they knew as a child no longer exists. Health care has become more about profit and not people. I do what I can to bring light into a world of darkness and ask others to do the same.

With all that in mind I walked out my front door and noticed the flag had broken off the holder and my Son in Law had placed it on my table until he could get a new holder. I looked closely at the weathered rocker, circular stone table and the flag. The symbolism of the arrangement struck me to represent the aging of the Elderly in America. The broken support and the table representing our nations influence across the world supported by an old, weathered rocker not getting the attention it should. I had to paint it, and I love the final outcome. Pray for PEACE!

Comparing Apples and Oranges is not what I usually do. However, I did have the opportunity to paint them. I gathered the following materials, clean dish cloth, bowl, apples and oranges. I put them together and painted them with ambient light. No special set up. I just let it happen and found my perfect point of view. Hope you like it!!! I didn't really realize the colors in the cloth until I started painting. Very challenging!!

Tre Fratelli 17 Summit Square, Langhorne, PA 19047 is one of Karen and my favorite eateries. All the food is delicious. The service is GREAT too. Which leads to this painting. The time eating there prior to this we had a long discussion with the owner Jim about Art and everything else. It was very refreshing and informative to speak to a business owner about everything happening in the world today. It turned out we had very similar backgrounds and work ethics.

This time we stopped in I asked if Jim was available. Of course, he was but was doing a million things but was nice enough and took the time to come out and say hello. Jim let us know the Fabulous Waitress we had that day was his daughter Ella.

We had a wonderful lunch in a very relaxing atmosphere. I asked for a glass of water. I received a nice cold tall glass with ice and a straw. After drinking some I finally notice the artistic composition. I took a few quick shots and looked at the photos later. This is the composition I finally decided on. Hope you like it. I DO!

Another traveling painting. I saw these neat little bottles at a coffee shop in Langhorne, Pa. It was about four years ago my friend Marty Shively was having a show that Karen and I attended. It was a cool coffee shop with Art on the walls and a band playing. I noticed these bottles high on a shelf and there were about thirty different sauces. I never knew there was so many varieties of Hot Sauce! I might even paint some more varieties!

I decided to continue my investigation into the Magical Clementine Peels. The first painting was a successful Portrait of the Peels. This is more of an interest in the lighting and surrounding area.

Today my lunch is simple. I love clementine's. So I had two for lunch. I placed the peel on the cats scratching post. The post top is covered with a soft grey furry material. When I turned to take a break I noticed the sun was illuminating the peels through the open door. The light and color were intense and beautiful. I grabbed a oil primed 11 x 14 linen canvas and started the painting. NOW FINISHED!

Sometime paintings appear to be simple compositions. This one was not. The texture of the dashboard took much longer to paint than the cranes. Since I don't paint for money I can spend 4 weeks painting what I want to paint. It is something I have worked towards my entire lifetime. It is a very gratifying feeling. It gives me the freedom to express my ideas to the very best of my abilities in Oil Paint. Although I have been painting for a very long time I always find new and interesting people, places and things to paint. Feel free to comment 😉

We are living in very unusual times. Our world does not seem real and is very unsorted. It is extremely difficult to organize our calendar, thoughts or put together any plans. It is a good thing we have each other to make some sense of it all. After all we are in this surreal bag of whatever together. Life is worth living and Art is worth creating to express these feelings.

With all that in mind I painted this new creation. My daughter Theresa May, who lives in the UK, is a world class Photographer and Gardener ;) . She took a series of photos for me to work with for a painting composition. I though the one I choose reflected our current life situation.

The story of this Original Oil Painting starts with a donation. My partner invited her childhood friend for a visit at our studio. Karen's friend Dawn brought us some home grown vegetables from her garden. You never know what may inspire so I take photos. I had fun with this Oil Painting in using some dynamic positioning in the layout. I didn't bother to light the subject in any certain way. I felt that added to the complexity of the arrangement. The design of the plate also added to the degree of difficulty. All things considered this was fun to paint, which leads to the title.

We left the Studio and proceeded to do some errands and while taking a stroll through Langhorne, Pa. I decided to go home via Hulmeville, Pa. where we stopped at the Johnson Hall Coffee House. The building had been recently reconstructed and majorly renovated into a beautiful and very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. There was various Art on the walls and soft music playing as we sipped our cappuccino, served in a beautiful blue coffee cup. As we were enjoying everything I took some mental notes for painting and some photos. Take some time to visit this place it's wonderful.

There is so much visually going on here it hard to decide what to get involved with for painting. I was drawn to this corn as I passed it and took many photos. I started the Oil Painting loose and fast. I was hoping it could stay very loose and expressive but I failed again. The distinct difference between each piece needed to be shared :) I checked there isn't any twelve step program for detail painters. It was fun at first then it went to the dark side. I started painting each kernel. I was able to pull away with a finished product I am proud of painting. Just so you know I could have spent a few more weeks on this! So I am making progress :) I love painting !!!!

Very comfortable and great service. I happened to have my camera with me so I took many shots of the place. I sometimes feel funny about doing that because people may feel it's an invasion of their privacy. Especially when they are eating. So I photograph mostly objects. I thought this glass of water was interesting. Hope you like it!

Title: Bowl of Fruit, Medium: Oil on Canvas Panel, Size: 11 x 14". This is the second Still Life I painted from our visit to a Doylestown Art Exhibit. We loved the architecture of the building and surrounding area. As I mentioned before I usually do not set up Still life compositions and as you can see, I didn't do that here. I just painted what was there at the time. Strange but true. Hope you like it!

Busy Art week for Karen A Smith and I. Painting, Meetings, Social Media, Exhibits, Shows and Museums. I am a Happy Artist :) This Oil Painting is the result of a visit Karen and I took to the opening of a Doylestown Art Exhibit. The Show is located at 181 E. Court St. Doylestown, Pa. I haven't painted many setups still lives in recent years. Most of my subjects are painted as I see them without setting up special lighting etc. Maybe I will try some more :)

Title: Lost Drummer, Medium: Oil on Canvas Panel, Size: 11x14", Price: $1100 USD. Another FUN Oil Painting. This is a composition of elements from the Bolton Mansion event with the Troop of Colonial Campers from the Crossing Community Church. The stacked drum sets looked like a challenging still life to make interesting. I added some features to build the story. Hopefully the viewed can fill in the blanks :)

Title: WAITING. Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 18 x 24”, Price: $4300 USD

This painting is from Another Time Antiques on Friendly Mill St, Bristol, Pa. I started this Oil Painting sometime in the 1970’s and completed it in 2018. Something are worth waiting for ;)

Title: FIREFLOWER, Medium: Oil on Linen, Size: 11x14", Price: $1500 USD. I was amazed when I first saw this Sunflower. I never saw a sunflower like this in my life. Maybe I have lived a sheltered life. Actually this flower came from Europe via Karen A Smith. Karen took the photo and gave me permission to paint it. The colors in life and the photo are extremely vivid. I tried to reproduce the effect as accurately as I could. I think it is breathtaking. It gave me a WOW moment. Hope you like the image :)

Title: Sunflower Swirl, Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 11 x 14". This painting is a little different color expression than I regularly paint. Artistic License! I try new things all the time. I like the way I feel when I look at this in the morning. It really wakes me up. Artist Karen Smith planted some sunflowers in my backyard. They are beautiful. Couldn't resist expressing how they glow in the sun. Price $1500.00 USD

We were invited to a Holiday Dinner Party at my good Friends Chet, Rose, and Carol's home. Their Home is located in a beautiful area of Bristol Borough, Pa. right on the river. The dinner was unbelievable. All the different food and tastes. I couldn't help but to try a little of everything. It was all perfect! During the courses of the meal this bowl of Strawberries was placed on the table in front of me. I glanced at the colorful arrangement and looked back immediately. Here we go with the crazy part. The Strawberries were placed in the bowl in a magical arrangement that was both musical and kinetic. The leaves were flowing from one to another. I did notice construct wise they were all facing different directions. No special placement was done. My eye kept circling the arrangement. This was a very happy accident. I knew it was calling me to paint it. So I did! They were delicious :)

Karen A Smith and I grew this beautiful Amaryllis Flower inside at Christmas time. I was very impressed with the beauty of this delicate flower. If you follow me you know I name all my flowers and plants. I generally wait until the flower tells me their name. This flower spoke to me almost immediately and proudly announced his name as "Guillermo". Karen A Smith raised the flower until it bloomed and took this portrait of Guillermo. Overwhelmed with the wonder of this presentation I was called by the Oil Painting Overlords to do this painting and asked Karen for permission. Of course she agreed :)

I started my painting career as an abstract non objective Oil Painter. That was my interest and understanding of pure painting. WELL! Things changed as time moved on and so did my ideas. I won't go into all the changes life gives to deal with everyday. I worked with many great young painters and I learned that I could do my abstract painting in a very objective Oil Painting. I have been painting in that manner ever since. Someday I hope to Master my search for whatever it is I am hoping to achieve. Until then I paint challenges and everyday life. The way I see it.

Title "Reflection" Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size" 11 x 14", Price: $1500.00 USD. This painting is the second completed in my Car Series. My First was the 54' Chevy,  this is a 57.  I have fun painting these because of all the details. Our eyes see lots that were not even aware of every day. That's why I titled this reflections. Most of this painting is just that!

OLDIE but GOODIE
It’s that time of year again with all the local car shows popping up. I guess it's only natural to LOVE the cars you grew up with in your childhood and teen tears. This is one of those classic cars. It’s a 1954 CHEVY! The Oil Painting is Titled: "54 CHEVY", Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 16 x 20", Price: $3200.00 USD

I worked at all the local fairs from the age of 8 to about 14. Always fascinated by the people and their way of life. The carnivals were always a place of excitement! A 16 inches by 20 inches oil on canvas. Price $3200.00 USD

Carousel Horse 2, 16 x 20", Oil on Canvas, Price: $3200.00 USD. I painted this as part of a continuing series of Carousel Horses and Carnivals. The story behind my fascination with this subject goes back to my childhood. I always enjoyed doing different things and keeping busy. I also liked earning money from an early age. At the age of about 8, I asked my mother if I could get a job at the local church fair. That is where it started, and lasted until I was about 14. Made lots of good friends and money. The money wasn't so much the fascination as was the excitement of the challenge of the unknown. I worked at all the fairs in my area for all those years. Learned lots about life.

Title "Pick Me", Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size 16 x 20", Price: $3200 USD. I think the frame is going to be a very important consideration for this painting. I like the way this painting worked out. At first it was a struggle but that is good for learning. I wrote previously "As an Artist I look at the world around me in a very special and amazing way. As the song says "Everything is Beautiful", "in it's own way". Sometimes I look at things as objects but for the most part I am... looking at shapes , color and Points of View. The subject is usually the last consideration. Then again there is always the exception. I saw theses Dolls sitting on a shelf at a friends store in Bristol, Pa., "Another Time Antiques" . Many time I would stop in to talk with Richard P. Vallejo (owner) and the Dolls were there staring. I photographed them many time but did nothing with them. Finally I placed them in a composition on a canvas to see how they would look. With a plane background they looked scary and not too exciting. So I added antique wall paper which sort of worked but needed to be more exact then I had planned on painting. I then saw some Art of an friend from my studio days. Aleta Cortes had published some photos of very beautiful cracked walls and other worn things and I thought it would fit perfectly(http://www.blurb.com/books/2836060-the-way-i-see-it). It worked fine but It needed more! Added the plant and not sure if I like it. Completed. Tell me what you think!"

Art of the Flower

Over the past two years I noticed I took an interest in painting flowers. I stayed away from the subject for many years. As a younger and less experienced Artist I had the opinion that it wasn't Artistic unless it was a part of a greater creation. I began painting flowers at my daughters insistence two years ago. I still resisted then because I didn't want to paint Oil Paintings that would be considered commercial. You know painting something that would look good over the couch or by Dads favorite chair. Once I got into the subject and study of flowers I realize I missed the boat once again. I was wrong in so many ways to resist. I could on about how much I learned about the subject, but I'll leave that for another time. This painting is the first large floral Titled: Pattys Prize, Size: 16 x 20", Oil on Canvas, $3200 USD

SHADOW STUDY, 11X14, Oil on Canvas, $1500 USD. I was setting up some still life setups and had these apples and sugar container as props. I noticed how the shadows changed depending on the proximity of other objects. I think it was due to the intense light in the front. So I painted it as a study. Old DOG new Tricks!

Rolling Hills Barn has interesting subjects for local Artists. I saw this small wheelbarrow many time sitting out on the front porch. It weathered and aged look always amused me but I never photographed it. I was early dropping off a painting for a show at the barn and the light was just right to take some photos. The small Wheelbarrow may be used to display flowers, but I image a child playing and farming their own little garden with their grandparent.

HOT HOT HOT !!! OMG What a week for my Central Air to quit. :(  On the bright side, which is where I would rather be, I'm still painting :)  Karen A Smith has planted many flowers around my yard and it looks beautiful! I love this blue jar. Blue is my fav color. Had to share these flowers with you. Hope you like them!

Hi Everyone! I know I painted Karen A Smith flowers from our garden about one month ago. I enjoyed the Still Life Oil Painting so much I thought I would take a second look at the arrangement.  The arrangement was turned and it really changed the dynamics of the setup and the values of the hues. This Oil Painting has a completely different feeling on the same subject. Really enjoyed painting the lower shadowed flower.

Title: Red Tulips, Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 11 x 14", Price: $1500.00 USD. Every year i am amazed at the vibrant red color of these flowers and think about painting them. This year I did. I approached this composition as an abstract design. Looking down at the flowers offers an incite into the hidden world of the tulip. Paintings like this excite me and from the start I want them finished. Patience is a virtue I am blessed with. The flowers are many layers in order to build up the subtle shadows. Paintings are never finished but this one is very close. By the way, you could own this painting it is for sale!

Title: "Yellow Roses", Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size 11 x 14", Price: $ 1500 USD SOLD
My friend Karen Smith brought some beautiful roses to my studio to cheer it up a bit! She also provided the great violet,red,blue,green etc., iridescent vase. I have not painted flowers in a while but this arrangement got me in the mood. I didn't make any special arrangement to enhanse the composition. I simple painted what I observed and that was more than enough. Each rose has it's own personality. They lasted very long in my studio mainly because I talk and sing to them. I can't figure out if they like Rock N Roll or Classical Music. SOLD

Working with other Artists can be very rewarding and interesting. Expressing your Art through subjects of mutual enjoyment can emphasize the final result. My daughter Theresa Furey is a professional photographer and shares her beautiful work online for everyone to enjoy. I came across this arrangement and asked her if I could paint this beautiful arrangement. Judge for yourself. Title: Valentine Roses, Medium: Oil on Canvas, Size: 11 x14", Price: $1500.00 USD.

The backyard garden is blooming thanks to Karen A Smith! Lots of Flowers and Vegetables.  Also seem to be a new hangout for neighborhood Cats and Birds. Certainly not at the same time. That would be messy. Anyway I will paint some of the beautiful flower we grew.

This Oil Painting was inspired by a local Pizzeria that Karen A Smith and I frequently visit because the people are friendly, kind and are fast on service. The place is always clean and the food is great! It also has comfortable seating and a nice decor. Sounds like I am advertizing for the place :) I do recommend that if your in the Queen Ann Shopping Center in Fairless Hills you stop in and enjoy some food at Julios Famous Pizzeria !

I always LOVE exhibiting at the Prallsville Mill, in Stockton, NJ. Living and working most of my life in Industrial settings I am always attracted to the process. These wheels represent an old process of the mill. I have considered painting this scene for many years but knew how difficult it might be to define. Well, I was right! First time for everything 😉 I enjoyed bring life to the different types of wood and showing how time has affected the metals. The room itself is very wide open and i wanted to capture that atmosphere. For those who have visited the Mill I hope it feels the way you remember. For everyone else take time to visit and support Prallsville Mill and the Artsbridge Artist Group! Title: Mill Wheels, Medium: Oil on Linen, Size: 12 x24", Price: $2910 USD

Those who have followed my Facebook site already know I talk and sing to my plants and yard animals ;) I believe Henry is my first plant in this Home. We have enjoyed his company for many years. He has many children and grandchildren. On a warm day while giving Henry a drink I noticed something special. My interest was catching the light playing gently through his leaves and vines which contrasted with the colors of the outside yard and seemed to be illuminated. I though you may enjoy Henry too !!!
