His work depicts commonplace situations and objects, in a way that celebrates the formal abstract properties of each scene as well as the lustrous, purely physical qualities of oil paint, with an emphasis on subtle color harmonies. He works in a tradition that began with the Impressionists and has continued down through the modernists, in work by artists as diverse as Thiebaud, Dine, Porter, Fish, and Mattiasdottir, as well as many currently emerging painters. Many of his paintings reside in private collections throughout the U.S.
