Daffodil Milk Bottle


 20" x 16" oil on canvas

This scene has everything I enjoy painting: organic shapes, hard reflective surfaces, interesting sunlight and reflections.

Mi Casamigo, Su Casamigo


 12" x 12" oil on panel

This is the fourth in my 'Distill Life' series, tequila and lime. This was painted at request of the Milward Farrell Gallery in Madison, WI. If you're in the Madison area, I recommend a stop in to see some great art.

In the Shade


 9" x 12" oil on panel

All the different greens attracted me to this scene. I liked the warm green grass in the foreground compared to the cool green grass in the shadows and on the van. Then there's the warm dark greens in the background.

Stopping for Chocolate


 11" x 14' oil on panel

I never know when I'm going to see a scene I want to paint. I was sitting in Mob Craft Brewing looking out the window and saw this man waiting at the corner. I loved the long late afternoon shadows and bright highlights on his pants and face.

Room with a View

16" x 20" oil on canvas

Sometimes the best subject matter comes from the most unlikely places! This is from a hotel room sunset on a trip to Kansas.

Go Green

 

11" x 14" oil on panel

Another painting from southern California. I love the composition of the old green pickup, modest houses and background mountains.

Roadtrip


 16" x 20" Oil on canvas

During a visit to southern California recently I came across this classic 1965 VW Beetle and was given a tour of it by the very generous owner who noticed me admiring it on the street. What a beauty! Loved the old suitcase in the trunk!
