"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.
