FIFTY Paintings of FIFTY STATES!

Michigan   
New York

My project over the last six years is complete. I painted a plein air pastel painting - on location - in every state. One early watercolor was grandfathered in because it was my first of a long tradition of looking for funky, homey, beautiful American scenes to paint while I sat outside in Beach Haven, NJ with a line of fishermen's shacks in front of me. Some of those flowers were plastic as I recall.
New Jersey

Wyoming


California

 I look forward to exhibiting selections of the project. I am in the phase of looking at venues to show these relatively small pastels.

 The place that you can look at all of them right now is here. Please read my brief travelogue of ups and downs and faux pas along the way. Travel is always amusing, at least. Then let me know of your travels, art work, etc.

Yea! Congratulations. What a great accomplishment - of art and travel both. You've made some truly outstanding paintings in sometimes less than ideal conditions, and with great dedication, you completed a pretty monumental project. Well done. Look forward to the exhibit.
