Today, I took the train all the way to work, except for the last 1,000 steps. I prefer to bike the last two miles, but it was cold and I rode in with a friend. The train was late and I didn’t feel up to

Haiku Corner Haiku Corner is a Myers and Chang restaurant in Boston, MA. A friend of mine took a photo that I really liked and I loved everything about it so much that I decided to paint it! You can check

Standing, bleary eyed, on the train platform in the biting cold. I look up and see this beautiful light. The train is coming. I take out my phone and take three shots. The train arrives, and I set out

I started painting this image yesterday, and this morning I realized that it wasn't going to work on the canvas I was using. You can read about it here. The underlying painting was showing through, and

I spent the morning laying the groundwork for this boat painting. The canvas had something on it that wasn't working out, so I covered it in white oil paint and let it sit for a couple of months. Now that

Wandering around the tunnels of MIT, one will find many odd things. I did not expect to find myself! But, there I was, looking like a retro Victorian silhouette portrait that we would do as kids. This

I started this painting on April 11, and worked on it for several months before putting it aside for awhile. In that time, I painted three other paintings. I guess it was two months, so three paintings

Don’t enjoy this view too much- that building is coming down. It has stood there for at least a century, housing families and businesses for generations. Now, it has given way to progress. Too expensive

This is my thoughtful look. What's wrong with Steem in general? I've been on Steemit since January of this year. I've been posting continually, and have gotten my reputation up to a respectable level.

Here is the original photo I've been using for this painting. In fact, this is the Instagram version. I later took the raw image, put it in Photoshop, and used filters to recreate the lighting on this

Biking to South Station the other day, I stopped to take a turn and saw this puddle at the corner. The sun is really low early in the evening, and makes the lovely gold tones I like so much. Makes for

Caught this one while running to catch the train. Had to stop and take a couple of shots. This was the best one. Hope you like it! Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

Here is the entire painting. I haven't been showing it because the bottom is so unfinished. Now I get to work in that area! I left one of the signs unfinished until the end of the painting because I knew

New England mill towns have many large factory buildings in need of renovations and new uses. In the dilapidated downtown of Brockton, Massachusetts, these are being converted into residential spaces.

I'm working this whole right side of the canvas, bringing this area up to the same level of completion as the rest. The areas I worked on are marked with red arrows. I'm looking for anywhere things still

I was out walking the dogs this evening and the sun was setting after a soaking rain that I thankfully missed. The sky cleared just in time to see the beautiful colors cast onto the clouds. Taken with

You may have noticed I haven't decided what to title these posts. I'm not exactly an instructor, nor am I providing instruction. I think "demonstration" probably best sums up what I'm doing.

Before is to the left, and the after to the right. I marked where I've been working in red as reference. Once I get this arched building finished, it's really just a matter of completing the Boston Coffee

You could own one of my original paintings, and put it on your wall, or you could enjoy my images on your stuff! I'm developing a store on the Zazzle site, that lets you put your graphics on all sorts

Today, I began working on the brick building in the center. The details weren't fully realized, and were crooked. I worked on the shadows and highlights, then added the stonework details. I think it reads
