Island Love

Often times I like to step away from the serious. In Island Love I did that.  Who says turtles have to be green or dolphins have to be grey?   Not me.  And where is it written that once we become … Continue reading

Fishing In New England

  I wasn’t that excited when I began this plein air painting: a bridge, a lake, some trees, that was about it.  So I got to thinking, why weren’t there any boys out on that bridge, enjoying the fresh air … Continue reading

Tuscan View

My “Views To Go” series of paintings was created by accident.  I had just finished a trompe l’oeil mural of a window scene for a client and she lamented the fact that if she ever moved the mural would have … Continue reading

Home For Lunch In Rome

It was such fun painting my first “Home For Lunch” bicycle scene, and just as much fun selling it, that I decided to paint it again. This time the background hues are a bit warmer and the stones are slightly … Continue reading

Ripose 1

I have always admired Matisse.  His flurry of primary colors never cease to thrill me.  And I find it exciting that he deliberately flouted the conventional rules of drawing and perspective.  I like the fact that he continued to develop … Continue reading

Citizens Of Earth

In this painting I wanted to convey my desire for all races to hold dear their individual ethnic backgrounds while embracing every other race, creed, and orientation.  We are all children of our great Mother Earth, and thus, we are … Continue reading

Red Buddha

I chose to draw my Buddha in this minimalist style to convey the no frills, tranquility of Buddhism.  Although unconnected, the lines are in harmony with each other in the same manner that our seemingly unconnected lives are in harmony … Continue reading

Tuscan Table

The warm Tuscan sunset inspired the rich colors for this Tuscan Table.  As I am not usually a still life painter, it was a bit of a struggle to keep my eggplant from looking like a mutant cucumber and my … Continue reading

Sicilian Table

Since cheese is my favorite food, I felt it was high time I painted a nice ball of aged provolone. Then I had to decide what to add to it. That was easy. What better accompaniment than wine, tomatoes, and … Continue reading

Vinny And The Van Goes 2

One day when I was doodling, I wondered what I could come up with if I merged one of my favorite, albeit a bit wacky, artists: Vincent Van Gogh, with a musical group.  I call the group: Vinny And The Van Goes.  They’re … Continue reading
