The Goldfish

This is a commissioned painting of Emily who loves water as much as I do.
And what I love nearly as much is painting it...the same fluid relaxation and escape from thought. I'd be happy to do some more if you have photos as good as this one was. Maybe something in the Caribbean? A clear lake? I live vicariously through paint.
This one is for Marianne.

My Happy Place

The first in a series of small works based on my distilled memories of SoCal. It is also my first go at painting swimming pool water. Maybe I'd rather be swimming in it but this was so much fun! I have a commission for another and am looking forward to starting it.

French Braid

Another painting of Madalyn turned away from the viewer.

French Twist

I've been intrigued by paintings or drawings of a figure turned away from the viewer. The subject can be a somewhat anonymous representative of man or woman and yet, if you know them, surprisingly recognizable without seeing their face. The evidence of individual expression in gesture, posture, combines with mystery.
