Here's another addition to my little collection of paintings completed on my property. I painted it at midday in two sessions with an additional fifteen minute studio tweak.

Taking the Whydah, was included in the History Channel episode, Beyond Oak Island: Return to the Whydah! which aired on January 24. The painting, originally commissioned for National Geographic Magazine, depicts Sam Bellamy and his boarding party taking possession of the Whydah from Captain Prince in 1717.

My recent painting, Take the Long View, has been juried as a Finalist in the Art Renewal Center's 16th International Salon Competition in the Imaginative Realism category. This is the tenth sequential year my work had been involved in this worldwide competitive art selection.

Two graphite drawings I created for a special edition of Raymond E. Feist's Faerie Tale will be part of the "Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration" exhibition at the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, MI. September 24, 2022 - January 8, 2023.

Other works I've created for books by Feist and other popular authors can be found here.
