Two trees on the bay side of Davis Park, Fire Island, the most remote community – peaceful – with nothing to do but paint.

Fire Island National Seashore: Scene with a park ranger house in the background.

A forked tree emerges from a small clearing with little pond.

A difficult scene to capture – miles of distance, nondescript reeds and the reflection of water. I like how the overcast sky turned out.

The rugged beauty of the Federal Park.

An Asian style monochromatic watercolor to capture the raw, wiry beauty of these windswept trees.

A quick watercolor of the beach showing the tall grasses planted on the dunes to keep the beach from eroding.

Wiry trees emerge from a bed of tall reeds near the marina.

A lone tree on Watch Hill on a windy day.
