Impressionist landscapes and cityscapes
This was a giant solid cloud that appeared over the beach one day in autumn, only fifty yards from Leith Hall, at the foot of Ocean Street. Crowds gathered to look up at it and I thought that it would make a great painting of weather.
It’s painted very solidly, with thick paint, as the cloud was not the usual wispy, insubstantial thing, but a big heavy mass.

A few years ago, Cape May’s not-for-profit organization, MAC, had an exhibit about the storms that have struck the town through history. They asked painters to send in pictures on the theme. This was my submission. Clearly, it owes a great debt to Hokusai’s Great Wave – but in a Western, Impressionist style. I really like its graphic strength, the many blue colors, and the threatening, night-time, atmosphere.
