A show in 2 weeks yields rapid painting.
I need at least 10 more of these. All small on canvas
mounted on board with a raised frame on the back,
these will be ready to hang. No frame needed.






































In keeping with a tool phase I am entering.
This c-clamp actually is this red!!

White cup and saucer I got at a garage sale.
Very heavy and thick, it was wonderful to paint.
Oil on 8" x 8" stretched canvas.



















A blue teapot done with limited oil palette
on stretched canvas. 8" x 8".

Some recent oils. ALl small...about 6" x 6" and the brushis 8" x 10"

This one is pretty intense with the burnt sienna...


















Schiele-esque...

















Painting blue jeans is alot of fun...not that anyone cares...but it is very satisfying...especially if you like the color blue.

This is a copy of a painting I found in the VOLGA gallery. I love the painters there and I am learning SO much. They use paint so wonderfully...THIS IS NOT FOR SALE...as I copied it. I did it just because I loved the painting and wanted to see if I could learn something...and boy did I!!!

These days, all I seem to really know is SNOW. So I'm finding myself intrigued by it and wanting to translate it into pigment...no shoveling necessary...












Recent painting done during a very deep freeze. I tried to capture the clarity of the air since everything seemed to crystalize the minute the cold touched it...

The way the paint went on in thsi one is the main reason its here...


















Not very large (6" x 8")...this oil was wonderful in that the edges worked.
