This painting returned from the dead. It was one of the paintings that apparently got lost in a gallery collapse in downtown Lake Bluff. After believing it destroyed, I was pleased to see it resurface in a long forgotten box of rescued items. So here it is. Acrylic on canvas,
16"x20" $750

Sepia nude


Yes I admit it. I like painting nudes. That's why I have so many. Actually I love
the challenge of the naked form, especially when most of the sittings are between 5 - 45 minutes.
It teaches you how to capture the moment quickly!
14"x18". Acrylic on canvas. $350.

Red sketch series




These were quick painted sketches done in one sitting.
We had 10 minutes to capture each pose so I had to bash away!

Acrylic on canvas. 8.5x11. $125 each.

This painting was rescued from a gallery that collapsed! I lost a landscape but managed to salvage this
one. With a gentle clean up it looks pretty good. Besides it has a little history and character embedded into it now.
Acyrlic and canvas/mixed media.

$1200

Second in a series of brushes. I just had to paint this. I experimented as I went along. I was trying to create some kind of relationship between the colors and the brushes.

Acrylic on canvas.

This was part of my "photorealistic" college course. Painted
when I was a baby of 19 years.
Gouache on paper. Make me an offer.

When I first moved to the states I was intrigued with the whole picket fence thing. This was my first home here and I wanted to capture every stick! Sorry not for sale.

I wanted the viewer to really sense the smoke on their clothes as they viewed this painting. The ominous black bags waiting to be burned. I actually got reprimanded by the police for burning on this day.
I didn't use the "..but officer, I am doing a painting" excuse. Maybe I should have.

I wanted to do a painting that captured many light sources in a very subtle way. In this painting there are five sources: The setting sun. The ambient light from the fire. The street light heading down the hillside. The delicate glow of the frost on the ground.
The distant lights coming on in the homes across the valley.
