"RUSTY"

I wanted to work with Orange and deep shades of red. I thought of those pigments contrasting with each other. The confluence of the composition was characteristically unavoidable. Low and behold an attorney I know was decorating her new offices and she was using the same color palette. This is what happens when the power of creativity is used in it's purest form. When tuned to the right frequency the signal and message come through with strength and vigor. ( SOLD)

"AUTUMN SUNS"

I love big sunflowers and I like to paint them when I can. I'm drawn to their texture which I find both rugged and delicate at the same time. It's fun to imagine a composition then go through the process of applying the pigment. This was just a blast to paint, sometimes everything works out just right with a painting and I know it when it happens.

"THAT GIRL"

She came to me while on a flight to New York to see my mother. I usually take a sketch pad and charcoal when I fly. It helps  me pass the time and keeps me from thinking about unpleasant things. This painting was done from the sketch I did on the plane and for some reason I feel compelled to keep painting her. Her story is perhaps a sad one but the way she shouts out at me is beautiful.

"DESERT BEAUTY"

This is one of my first floral paintings, I remember it just popped into my mind. When that happens painting is really fun, and it has kept me going ever since. 40" x 30" Oil on canvas. (SOLD)

"FLORES"

I love being near the Ocean my creative spirit seems to revel in it's power. This painting came to me after a visit to California, I spent an afternoon at Mission Beach in Orange County with my sister and niece. We had a great brunch at one of my favorite restaurants, then we got some potato chips and ice water and went to the beach. It was great just to sit and take in all of the movement. The sun and smell of salt water along with the sound of the surf, put me in a trance like state of mind. I began painting, which by the way always happens in mind, way before I get to the studio. This painting was a true joy to paint, and it reflects my spirit of happiness and my need to express what's in my heart.

"TWISTER"

I remember the game twister and just how simple it was to have fun as a child. Today many  of the games children play are filled with what might seem like fun but are designed to desensitize children to violence and death. I think we should bring back some of the things from the past that made us happier and healthier. 20" x 16" Oil on canvas. (SOLD)
