The vast majority of my landscape paintings depict or are inspired by places in the Hillsborough NC area. Hillsborough’s sidewalks and streets are wonderful places to walk, profuse with gardens and vistas tunneling through the overhanging foliage. These paintings share a broad theme of paths leading into the interior spaces of exterior places, views where activity is in the shadows as much as the light. Each painting has an associated GPS coordinate, which can be copied into GoogleMaps to pinpoint exactly where the scene can be viewed in real life.
