"Braemhor" (Ravine Avenue House) - Wyckoff, NJ

First stage of underpainting underway.

I have submitted these paintings for the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship program for 2016.  This organization awards grants between $7000 - $12,000 per artist selected, so I have my fingers crossed that I am chosen.

I have 19 paintings listed on 1stDibs for sale now, as well as 20 on Amazon.
