About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. My educational history is as follows: Long Beach High School, School of Visual Arts, C.W.Post College, M.A. in Humanities, Hofstra University. A two year stint in the U.S.Marine Corps as a illustrator eased my entrance into civilian life as a commercial artist in N.Y.C. My teaching career of twenty five years began at the State University in Farmingdale, N.Y. and ended as a Professor of Fine Arts at Herkimer County Community College, where I was awarded The New York State Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. I now paint full time in Portland Maine where I live with my wife Sharon. I paint all subjects from portraits to landscapes but I especially love painting the sea. Last year marked the end of forty straight years of teaching workshops on Monhegan Island, Maine, I now conduct three day classes in Kennebunkport every spring and fall. My work can be seen at The Wiscasset Bay Gallery, Wiscasset, Me., Dowling Walsh Gallery, Rockland, Me.,Camden Falls Gallery, Caamden, Me. and here in my studio in Portland. I am a signature member of The American Watercolor Society and the New York State Watercolor Society.

Surf Below White Head

I think it's obvious that the entire painting was done in the studio from my memories of Monhegan. There was, what I think, an awkward form in the breaking wave and I couldn't solve the problem so I put in some rocks (center) where the breaking water was giving me trouble.
Did anyone notice that?
Oh yes! Another note:  The painting is on heavy rough 300 lb. Arches paper.

    Guy,

    I love the color, such intense reflected light. The green/red, and blue/orange complementary color is beautiful.Just one of your master works.

    Your buddy, Bruce
