woman in pink

"woman in pink" 21 x 27 inches acrylic on canvas 2005

Color is essential to all of my work. I tend to use vivid colorful harmonies in most of my paintings. I will admit that my color choices do not always please the retina, but I am continually striving to express myself with the use of color. I am always trying to create works were the color speaks. The first response from people when viewing my work is nearly always a comment about the color.

Abstract Nude Woman

A new painting that I finished last week.....The last one for 2008. An abstract nude woman that has a very Art Deco feel. The background is full of heavy textured paint.

Merry Christmas

Walden Glenn 16 x 20 inches acrylic on canvas 2008

Merry Christmas everybody!
This snow scene is from Cincinnati Ohio. This view was behind our apartment in Walden Glenn (Just off Hamilton Avenue) We lived there for a couple of years in the early 1990s. I painted this from a photo during the Holidays last year, and finished it after New Years, so it is dated 2008.

Hawaii

I decided to go to Oahu for Thanksgiving.

Waikiki Beach

Waves and rocks at Sandy Beach

Modern Geometry

private collection

This painting is from 2004. I was interested in the retro fashion and the geometric abstract design of the dress and the background.

Island Surf

A brand new painting of a Hawaiian Beach. "Island Surf" 16 x 24 inches acrylic on canvas 2008. If you look at it long enough, you can hear the waves crashing.......

Latest Tiki

"Tiki Ike" 11 x 30 inches, acrylic on canvas 2008.

A brand new tiki I call him "Tiki Ike". I call him that because I actually worked on him when we were without power after Hurricane Ike. I had started him just before the hurricane.

Diamond Head and Two Palms

Diamond Head with Two Palm Trees acrylic on canvas 8 x 10 inches

I enjoy a quick expressive painting that captures the feeling of a location. Plein Air works have a spontaneity that is so lively and beautiful. The joy of being outside and feeling the breeze cannot be under estimated.

Feisty

A painting of a red haired woman from 2005 that has been sold.

Galveston Seawall After Ike

This is all that remains of Murdochs ( the building in the distance) after Hurricane Ike. Notice the granite monument and how it has been shifted by the force of the sea. This is right in front of where Hooters used to be. These photos were taken yesterday October 3rd 2008.


These two photos are all that is left of the Balinese Room.
