Summer Sorbet


Oil, 9" x 12"

This painting was created with a limited palette, 
namely Napthol Red, Turquoise Blue, Black & White.
I deeply enjoy mixing the saturated color straight 
from the tube with grays mixed from B&W.
Then I end up with more sophisticated colors
and some surprising colors such as the lavenders.

Please contact me if you would like this painting
to live with you.

Abundant Joy

 


Oil, 11" x 14" $700

Using primarily reds and greens,
I wanted to create an image with
bold color, interesting shapes,
and breathing space in which to rest the eye.

I'm quite content with the outcome.
It was pure joy painting this one,
hence the title.

Beach Trip 2

 


Oil on Cradled Board, 16" x 16" $700

Using soothing colors and giving enough 
breathing space between the shapes,
I hope I achieved a sense of calm and serenity
for you, the viewer.

As is often the case, the colors and shapes
give me a feeling of being at the beach.
Is that a sand bucket?
Are those sand dollars?
Fronds from a palm?
A striped blanket?
