Beautiful You

  Oil Oil on Paper What I look for in a figure or portrait photo to work from is good lighting with plenty of shadow and high contrast lighting.  If you have a favorite photo that you would like me to try painting it please email it to me.

Vaseline Vase and Roses

  8"X 10" Oil Canvas panel   Still working with the roses and I felt that my color selection was better.  I prefer working larger because I have more room to think about shapes and colors.

Roses in Vaseline Vase

  6" X 8" Oil Canvas Board   $115.00 I am going back to the basics for a while...concentrating my efforts on establishing strong patterns of color and value.  I liked this quote that I found the other day:  "Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better."  Andre Gide

Fresh Papaya SOLD

  8" X 8" Oil   I recently bought new brushes and I think I like them better than what I have been using.  I am a little surprised.  For over 20 years I have used synthetic bristle brushes, but this time I bought natural hog hair bristle brushes.  They lay now less paint and work the paint into the canvas more.  I like it.

When We Were Young

It Feels Like Spring

  20"X20" Oil Stretched Canvas   $800.00 I enjoyed this painting.  It is larger than any I have worked on recently.  It is much more challenging for me to work large because I use more paint and there is so much more surface to paint.  I love the freedom of big strokes though.

Peach Rose Bud

  4"X6" Oil Canvas Board A beautiful peachy colored rose that I placed in my tiny brass vase.  Love the reflections in the vase.
