New Paintings - New Exhibits
I've been painting at the shore during some of the mild winter days. I'm able to paint in my car if it isn't too cold. The following paintings will be added to my "Jersey Shore" series.
I sketched this scene of St.Catherine's church a few days before Hurricane Sandy hit the area. A few months later I came back to work on the painting. I was able to park right in front to get this view. St. Catherine's has always been one of my favorite New Jersey churches.
