A Tweed Kilt
A most unusual request. A tweed kilt. Seen more often in Scotland than in the US. I appreciate being asked to make it. Something different and fun.
South on Cathedral
A view of Cathedral Street at Mulberry in Baltimore. Waiting at a red traffic signal, my eye was drawn to the flag. One favorite part of this painting is the traffic signal.

The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders
The Cameron Highlanders regiment wears Cameron of Erracht tartan. Here it is shown pleated to stripe, as is proper for a regimental kilt. In 1961, the Camerons merged with the Seaforth Highlanders to form the Queen's Own Highlanders. I thought I would show the kilt stretched out to it's full length. It will wrap around and be buckled to fit.
Unnamed plaid
Interesting that this plaid makes such a successful kilt. A plaid with no name - it's not a tartan. But it is woven in a traditional colorway: "weathered" - where the blues become slate, the greens become khaki and the blacks become a very soft brown-black, leaving the reds vibrant. In Scotland, such a fabric is known as a "fashion plaid".
Parking in Annapolis
This is the newest addition to my ongoing series of parking garages. This painting centers on the sign itself. I finally found one in which the background is brown, not blue. It is located at West Street and Taylor Avenue in Annapolis, Maryland.
Oil on canvas, 20" x 20".
$850

MacLaren kilted skirt
This is a "kilted skirt" so-called since in Scotland a kilt is men's wear. Hand-stitched and pleated to the yellow stripe. Modern colorway.
White Cloth with Conch
Above is the last canvas in the White Cloth series. Perhaps not the final one, but nothing is on the easel at the moment.
I intended to paint the lovely pink/green/gray luminescence inside the conch, but when I turned it toward the light the beautiful red color appeared. This canvas is also more about the shadows cast by the shell onto the damask cloth.
SOLD
Oil on canvas, 14" x 11".

White Cloth with Anemone
The fourth in the white cloth series. Still showing the hemstitching in the cloth and very subtle damask patterns. I was so taken with the intense blue of the anemones this spring. I also tried my hand at the transparency of the petals.
Oil on canvas, 14" x 11".
