"JUST FRIENDS"

The title "Just Friends" is for me a metaphor when I began this painting, I saw in it that it was about sharing... Friendships, food, company, bad times, good times and above all "Love". 6"x6" oil on a archival clay board mounted on a 2" deep finished wooden box.

"COMPOSITION IN RHYME"

This is in the high country of above San Francisco. The play of light and textures and rhythm and composition that is so perfect captured me and I knew then must paint this and see if I can do it justice. It is an oil on a 6"x8" archival clay board mounted on a 2" deep finished wooden box. (Not available) (SOLD)

This started out as an underpainting and as I looked at it I decided to keep it. It is a departure from what I intended and I'm reminded just how much fun it is to paint. 6"x6" oil mounted on a 2" deep finished wooden box.
