"PATENT LEATHER & POLKA DOTS"

I entered the office and signed in.  As I turned to sit I spotted her, she was dressed to kill. I took a seat, picked up a magazine and pretended to read but couldn’t take my eyes off her. Her gaze never left the window.  After a time a door opened to my right and a soft voice called out into the waiting room… “Ms Greenfield” she stood up and with grace glided across the floor.  Passing me she nodded, I smiled; she was wearing “Gardenia” probably my favorite perfume. I sat for a few minutes then the receptionist called out to me, she told me this and that with politeness, I thanked her nodding my head up and down showing I understood. Turning to leave I stopped to looked out the window, smiling to myself I thought, oh well, it was a nice encounter anyway. Oil on 8x6 Birch paneling, mounted on a varnished wooden box:  (Sold)

"FRONT DOOR"

  My first morning in my sons home, I crept upstairs from the basement "something we don't have in California" and immediately made a pot of coffee.  Cup in-hand I moved quietly around as everyone was still asleep upstairs.  I went to the front door, opening it; only to be greeted by a second etched in glass.  Looking out at the snow and cold within inches of me  while still being protected by the warmth of this house, I smiled and said to myself "here is your next painting." This is a 6X6" oil painting on Birch panel that is mounted onto a varnished wooden box:  (Sold)
