Yes!! It allows great control of the flame and it's not too heavy.

Here's a little video I made of some of the fun parts of painting with wax!! I'm always happy to answer any process questions you might have, so fire away!

Post-blizzard sunrise on the coast of Maine. Quite overcast, but it 'looks like it will clear today. Now I just have to shovel us out.

Skiing. Val d’Isere in the French Alps. Absolutely breathtaking.

A new small one in my No Place Like Maine series. Autumn blueberry barrens. After the first front, the wild blueberry vines turn every shade of glorious red. (Google “blueberry barrens” and you’ll be amazed!!)

It’s sooooo good!

Thank you, Tom!!

It’s Valentine’s week, so the perfect time to share my latest Cape Cod cranberry bog painting — a celebration of the color red. It was sooo much fun to splatter the wax to create the cranberries!!

A fiery sunset, reflecting on a sandy beach in Maine.

Absolutely spectacular sunset tonight at Crescent Beach State Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

A view of snow-capped Mt Washington from Sunday River ski resort, on a clear February day.

Today was a bluebird day on the mountain at Sunday River, with lots of soft snow and clear views of Mt Washington from the top of the Jordan Bowl chair. Perfection!!

Thank you for the kind words on my painting, and for reading my notes. It was such an incredible inspiration photo, it made painting easy!!

It's all too much, really. And I think that's the point, to wear us down so much we can't tune in to it all.

It was pretty crazy. And crazy cold, too!!

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a special spot, for sure!!

We had a little cabin fever, so walked through thigh-high snow drifts to the edge of the cliffs at Two Lights State Park. The waves were massive, and it was rather nippy, but It was great to watch Mother Nature do her thing and forget about life for a while.

Beautiful!!

Painted during the darkest days of the pandemic, "Hope" seems appropriate today. There are glimmers of hope, a few cracks in the congressional Republicans' let-Trump-get-away-with-anything posture. It's just a start, but it's something.

And here’s Skier’s Moon - 36” x 36” - inspired by a photo by Alex Dall'Olmo of a full moon setting behind snow-capped Mt. Mansfield in Stowe, VT. The -10°F weather and atmospheric conditions made a lovely pink winter sky.
