Riddle Marsh by Turville Creek

30" x 60 "

Oil on canvas

Collection of Drs. Jason and Preeti Yonker

On a sultry summer afternoon, we follow a small tributary as it leads out to Turville Creek on the backside of the Glen Riddle community, located between Berlin and Ocean City, MD.

Turville Creek runs west to east, eventually emptying into Isle of Wight Bay, on the west side of Ocean City. A slight breeze creates gentle ripples across the water, breaking an otherwise mirrored reflection of the idyllic landscape.

Jason and Preeti don’t live far from this setting and wanted a painting of it to adorn their lovely home. Then Preeti asked me if I would include their beloved golden doodle in the setting, which I obliged.

Point of View

14' x 18"

Oil on canvas

Collection of Devin Holland

This duck blind, “Point of View”, located on the Choptank River not far from Cambridge, MD, is owned by father and son Gregg and Devin Holland.

Gregg commissioned this painting as a Christmas gift for his son, Devin. The blind was fairly easy to render; however, I spent hours replicating the soft rippling effect of the water on a gentle late afternoon on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Holloway Hall

2025

In November 2024, noted space designer Bryan LeCompte and I met at Salisbury University Holloway Hall’s Social Room to discuss his vision for the restoration of the 100-year-old space.

LeCompte picked me to paint a massive painting over the fireplace mantel. I took photos of the front façade of Holloway, drew concepts which were approved, and then constructed and stretched the huge canvas.

I started painting in early July 2025 and completed the painting by early August. On August 25, “Holloway Hall” was presented to the public.

Germantown School

Collaboration. Education. Community

In early 2025, the Germantown School Community Heritage Center commissioned me to create a mural that encompasses the story of how a community answered the call… twice.. to come together for a worthy cause.

In 1922, the community came together to build the school for their youth, and then, years later, the school closed in 1954. The community rallied once again to reclaim and restore the building.

In early December 2025, in a Ribbon Cutting ceremony attended by hundreds, the mural was dedicated and celebrated.

I first composed and painted this 24” x 36” oil painting on canvas.

Tony Weeg took a high-resolution digital photograph of the painting that was sent to Dave and Susun Lane of Sun Signs.

The image was printed on 4—9’ x 4’ aluminum panels.

Nate Cullen of Sign Tech expertly installed the panels on the side of the school.
