Works on paper ready for frames
These are some works that I recently matted. They are all in 11″ x 14″ mats which fit into a standard frame. Instant original art!

I will give you a good deal if you are looking for art for yourself or aContinue reading “Works on paper ready for frames”

Still Life with Glass of Red Wine, Ozenfant, 1921 I’ve been doing a lot of research for the Impressionism to Post Impressionism art history class I am currently teaching .

I was particularly intrigued with how the bleeding effect creates an optical effect so the work appears slightly out of focus. I am enjoying the white negative spaces, similarly to how IContinue reading “Marker studies”
Botanicals
As I walk my neighborhood in the fall I always collect leaves that catch my eye. This year I picked up some of the ones with brilliant red and orange colors but I noticed even the more mundane or muted leaves had incredible details. This lead to a series I call leaf portraits. Each paintingContinue reading “Botanicals”
Figure Drawing and Painting
I’ve been revisiting figure drawing this fall by attending sessions with live models. Working from the figure has always been a good challenge. I’m trying both drawing and painting medias. All of these images are from long poses and some are focused on portraiture.
Postcards from Ireland
I spent two weeks in Ireland in August. I’m sharing watercolor sketches made while there and since I’ve been back. These are all 4″x 6″
