"MORNING HAZE"

                                                                "MORNING HAZE"
                                                                 24x24 oil on canvas

With morning haze giving a soft focus to the sky and sea where they meet became a metaphor of my journey.   The pursuit in searching for other ways of talking about subjects such as skies, waves, land or even objects is an interesting journey to say the least.  I must satisfy myself above all and I must appeal to an audience that is for the most part not familiar with what art is.  This is where the lines blur for I recognize my audience is small and yet when that one stops and gets what I am trying to say my journey is clear and the horizon comes into focus.  

"EASY SUNDAY"

                                                          "EASY SUNDAY"
                                                          6X6" oil on wood

It was late in the day when I arrived in Santa Monica.   The meeting was cancelled giving me a chance to just stroll the shore.  The sun setting and the sky turning wonderful warm shades made for a great backdrop for the pier and memories.  (SOLD)

"MONDAY BLUES"

                                                      "MONDAY BLUES"
                                                     6X6inch oil on wood

A few weeks ago we had a great needed downpour.  All the dust was washed away, all plants got a good drink, the air is clearer.  All this is good, BUT! For me it meant running around with my iPhone taking pictures for my rain series.. This petites oeuvres d' art that you see just might become a large canvas.... There is more to come so stay tuned.. (SOLD)

"MAGIC"

                                                                   "MAGIC"
                                                            6x6" oil on wood

With the moon so full and a blue moon at that I had no choice but to paint the glare of it.

As many times as I have looked up at this glowing ball it still brings a smile and a Wow! that crosses my lips.  The simple beauty that it gives us all is immeasurable.   Every child looks and points to it.  The moon is magic, for when we stop to marvel, all troubles and negative thoughts vanish and for a brief moment we are one with all..
