Painting outdoors

I enjoy being outdoors with my easel, to paint from life and try to capture the feeling of the light on my subject.  My Italian wife Monica and I have lived in various locations including Florida, Costa Rica and Italy.  Along the way I have grown in my efforts to record with oil paint the beauty of a scene. We now reside in coastal Virginia, on the Eastern Shore next to a salt water creek that flows into the Chesapeake Bay.
