Chris paints primarily in oils, working both on location (plein air) and in the studio. His paintings are known for their bold use of color, confident brushwork, and ability to convey the light and atmosphere of a place. He draws inspiration from the landscapes of New Hampshire, the coast of New England, and his travels.
