"Energy of One"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
24"x30"
You might be saying: "This doesn't look like her work"......
and you would be right.
This large painting was a commission. The request was:
Colorful,movement,on the verge of abstract expressionism with
a spiritual feeling or meaning.
It was really a challenge for me..... as I wanted to capture his
energy and wonderful connection to people and life.
He finally saw it yesterday and I am happy to say: He loved it!! :)

"Go with the Flow"

Life in the city can certainly be more enjoyable when you
are riding your bike. It is faster (and cheaper)
than taking a taxi.....just relax and "go with the flow".

"The Exception"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
8"x8"
There were quite a few thoughts that came to mind while
I was sketching this painting.
The same but different.
There's always one in the crowd
and of course........The exception to the rule.

"The Rose"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
8"x8"
"A rose is a rose is a rose".
The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" was written by
Gertrude Stein in 1913. This is probably her most famous quote,
often interpreted as meaning "things are what they are".

"Three in a Room"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
8"x10"
I have always enjoyed parts of the old style layout of our museum,
like being able to look through the rooms to the opposite hallway.
Our museum remains open, even though it is now under renovation,
with new parts being built and some old sections being changed.

"Yearning"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
12"x12" - sold
It is always exciting to do larger imaginary paintings like this one.
I have been working on a large commission that requires a looser,
abstract expressive painting style and it has created a "yearning"
for more. I hope you enjoy this larger, in the window, painting
as much as I did creating it!! :)

"Two Bits"
oil on canvas
16"x20"- sold
This was a really fun and interesting commission!
When she was little,visiting her grandfather,he would often
give her two quarters and say, "Here's your two bits".
So, in honor of her grandfather after his passing and to raise
money to fight Diabetes,she started a bike riding group and
named it TWO BITS.
She wanted a painting,for her home, that depicted more than
one bike and quarters in the wheels but she also wanted to be
able to have the image on their shirts.
This is what I created! Hope you enjoy it!!! :)

"Colorful Layers"
oil on 1.5" deep canvas
8"x8" - sold
Although we no longer wear the flowing draped garments from the classic
times, we have definitely brought back the colorful layered look.
The painting in the background is my rendition of the famous
romantic artist: John William Godward 1869-1922

"Night at the Diner"

8"x10"- sold
A late night moment in the city.
Who doesn't love an old diner? Something very nostalgic
about them. I wanted to paint some neon and evening light.

"In the Window #1"
oil on canvas
6"x12"- sold
Here is a fun size for the first painting of a possible new series -
"In the Window". This idea popped in my head while watching a CSI
episode. It made me remember a series of paintings that I did in the
70's of the neighborhood where I had my first studio/gallery.
Oh the things I saw in the windows then, might make your hair curl,
but it was great, from an artist point of view.
Anyway, it's a little bit of voyeurism but could be great fun...
