About The Artwork
This painting is about "beauty amongst the broken." I have done several paintings of this rock near the seashore. It is unattractive and has been battered by the sea for centuries. At the same time, it is surrounded by the beauty of Creation. Despite nature's relentless assault, the rock stands firm and secure. Nature around the rock continues to go through cyclical changes. The rock does not. It is unattractive compared to the beauty around it. However, it offers us a beauty that does not change. The prophet Isaiah said; "There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him" (NLT). And King David said; "He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken" (Psalm 62:2 NLT). I am inspired by the landscapes of John Singer Sargent and George Bellows. They painted directly from life. This painting was done "Plein Air" as well. I love the challenge of the changing light and atmospheric conditions. I want the viewer to experience the powerful Maine light across the forms of nature.

Born 1954 in Weisbaden, GermanyI have been an artist for over 30 years. I have been a portrait painter for most of my art career. I have painted business leaders such as the posthumus portrait of L.L. Bean for the L.L. Bean Company in Freeport, Maine, Marvin Sadik, the former director of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the late philanthropist Elizabeth Noyce for her private collection. I have painted multitudes of children portraits throughout the years. I am now painting landscapes in oils and pastels and exhibiting my work in the Northeast of the USA.
