20″ x 60″ x 1.5″ unframed acrylic painting, painted sidesSOLD To view a larger version click here. A friend is moving and gave me this canvas.

6″ x 6″ pastel painting, unframed SOLD This strawberry basket painting was one of the most challenging paintings I’ve worked on.

Since I don’t want 2 people owning the same painting I reversed the umbrella and chair, and also added some clouds. Ahh . .the magic of Photoshop. Reversing everything by sight would […]

8″ 8″ acrylic painting This is a commissioned painting that I finished this morning. My customer was interested in a print of the painting on the left. Since I didn’t have any prints I offered to paint a variation of the same lime slice. I’ll always accept commissioned work. If you’ve seen a painting that’s […]

“Alarm Clock” 8″ x 8″ pastel painting (unframed) SOLD This painting of an old alarm clock was an experiment in values which I finished a few weeks ago. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to post it mostly because I wasn’t happy with my circles. I’m guessing that perhaps Dali painted melting clocks for a similar […]

“Dramatic Rose” 8″ x 8″ pastel painting (unframed) SOLD I’m back to working with pastels for a while. The vibrancy of colors can not be beat, at least in my experience. I saturated the colors of the petals to bring out more contrast and changes in value. I’m very happy with the result!
