Wine Glass

Wine country is a bit soggy this year. Raining with a chance of flooding.

Woman in an Empty Room

Raining outside. Feeling a little blue. Painted this in 2008, must have been feeling a little blue back then too. Marching along will keep painting and loving my family.

The sketch(s) for this painting were actually created on a Sunday afternoon in a busy public library.

Tension Wire

Barbed Wire vs. nature.

Man in Thought

Well, Derek is sometimes my only available model - but he doesn't exactly look this way....

He Sold in December 2009.

Too Much Noise

Well, he sold. My house feels like this to me sometimes.

Life's Layers

Many layers, many houses, organization amongst confusion. Attempt at using no white paint, but I did use a little.

Weed Abstract

Wet oil applied on 24 x 24 canvas. Stiff brush used to break in the image. Wet on wet - first try.
