New Painting

Just finished another painting that was inspired by a scene on one of the Greek Islands--I think it was Santorini. This open-air restaurant surrounded by little shops offered lots of color, but the lone seated customer was the real story. Check it out on my link.

Two of my newest paintings, which you can view by clicking on the link, A Classic amidst the Classics and Morning Glory Construction are based on things I saw on last summer's cruise of the Greek Islands. Both were on an early morning walk through the old city of Rhodes. The first one was I turned a corner to view some old ruins, there was this shiny Jaguar parked in the street. It was so out of place yet so perfect that I immediately knew this was going to be a painting. The second was a construction site on one of the side streets that appeared almost abandoned except for the promise of the beautiful morning glories.
I gathered a lot of material on that trip and will describe more as I paint them.

Welcome to My Blog

I have finally figured out how to show more of my paintings to more of you out there. With a little help from my oldest daughter, Stephanie, and hours of frustration I have created this blog. From time to time I will post items about the paintings I am working on and events in my life as an artist. If you don't see what you want here, let me know. I do commissions as well as putting down on canvas the things that I find interesting. I hope you like them.
