This is a large study where I experimented with a pixelizing concept.

Lucy's Opening Sky

This is one of my favorites. This scene is also an image that I used for the Design Process page of my new architecture website: http://xander-architecture.com/Designprocess.html

Aquinah Sky's Clearing

Even though I only visit home, Martha's Vineyard Island, a few times a year, I always bring back to Washington DC new images from which to paint. This painting now belongs to the Newman collection. On the design process page of my architecture practice is a photo of one of my favorite views on the island: http://xander-architecture.com/Designprocess.html

Lucy's Dark Clouds

This is a study of the clouds over Lucy Vincent Beach on Martha's Vineyard. I intend to post more frequently with sketches of beautiful homes in Washington, DC. I've launched my private practice Xander ARCHITECTURE in my new Cleveland Park office. See my website www.xander-architecture.com

Paintbrushes

I don't think there's anything he won't try to put in his mouth. The other day in the garden he looked at me with a weed hanging out of his mouth and an expression of "um I don't think I like this." He's a very courageous little fellow.

Paintbrush (draft)

This is just a beginning on this piece. He finally got one of my paintbrushes .

Green Ball

We went to the toy store today and bought some new toys. There were many different balls to choose from but we chose the glow in the dark ball.
