My favorite wine, old vine zin. Nothing beats sitting on the jasmine covered porch as the sun sets looking out into the park, eating  cheese with a glass of my favorite wine. This painting continues my series of libations, branching off into vino. Painted on a 5 x 7" board in oil, this beautiful and luscious work is perfect setting in a small display easel without a frame.  SOLD

The classic martini joins my series of drinks. This luscious drink features two olives on a pick with a small green skull. The painting is oil on board, 5 x 7", signed. SOLD

This painting, "The Orchid and Time," is one of my favorites. It is 18"x20" and looks at the primeval quality of life as embodied by orchids, which are, by far, my favorite flowers. This plant has been blooming in my house every three months without fail. I'm pretty sure this one will sell. At only $1200, it should!!

Here is one of eleven paintings to be shown at Riney Gallery come March 6th. It'll be a good show with I think what will be a very large attendance. Let's hope!

Well, this baby sold before I could even write a blogpost about it. It's 5x7" oil on panel. This series is taking off! I hope to have more small paintings up soon! These paintings are done during breaks working on larger paintings for an upcoming show at Riney Gallery. I love these small still lives that just ooze heart and love for the medium! I'll add a pics of some of the paintings in the next post. SOLD

This oil painting of a whiskey glass conveys American iconography at its finest! It carries such freight. From westerns to rough and tumble city bars to whisky pubs in Brooklyn, it conveys a welter of meanings! Temptation, celebration, contemplation, quiet times after a hard day, loss, struggle. Life. This painting is 5x7 inches, oil on board.  SOLD

This young woman was a natural and a delight to paint. While I like to believe that I draw out the best of anyone, she made my time in the studio a pure joy. The young man is the little brother to the girl above, While not quite as conscious of his role in the process, he is blessed with an amazing innocence that translates well in paint. This is a portrait of my son. He is a great kid who can write, program, and draw like nobody's business. And, my daughter. She works very hard to make her way in this complicated world, and you can see the determination in her eyes. This was another fun commission. She has a stunning inner beauty that outshines even her extraordinary physical beauty. Oftentimes it is the precise manipulation of micro-expressions that tell the story. As I've stated before, capturing a likeness is not terribly hard. Capturing a soul...that is another thing.
