9 x 12 Inches Oil on panel

 Here was my 3 x 6' space for the RISD Alumni + Student Art Sale
a bit windy but nice weather otherwise and about 2,000+ traffic between 10-4.
I made some new friends and enjoyed the reunion with old friends.

Still life

Alone on a Sofa

18 x 24 inches Oil on canvas

$225 +S/H

This was discovered when I set up my open studio in August.
It's not bad, but not exactly what you'd want on the wall over the sofa!
Maybe it needs a sleeping cat painted in...

I read a poignant entry on painting that matters by my Vermont painter friend David Smith
from last January I'd like to share " I was reading about Bruce Springsteen, something about his desire to create 'durable' songs. Art is a product of the time it was created in, but I liked that utilitarian description of his, art meant to stand on its own, weathering changing times and interactions with changing audiences. That's what all of us makers of things would like, to make something durable."

Person Bruce Springsteen,

Looking Out Window -suggestions?

24" x 24" Oil on canvas

Face Detail

This was a portrait I painted the figure
with palette knife, but never really completed.
I didn't deal with the background so I'm open
to suggestions? I've added the window, but am open
to what is outside, and wonder
if anyone has some suggestions for the right side
behind the model? If your idea is selected, I'll
paint it in, and credit you with the idea on blog!
Here's and interesting portrait from
LA County Museum (LACMA)

(United States, Hawaii, Oahu, 1891 - 1985)
Arabella with Calla Lillies, 1934

Jeffrey's Birthday

16" x 16" Oil on canvas

We went to Art Basel together in December to the Arts District in Miami, and saw this cool covered chaise love seat. I surprised Jeffrey with the "portrait". The chair was $10,000 so this is a fun reminder.

Blue Robe

Because this is older, it's got some worn spots
on the green areas being in storage rubbing against
another painting.
I would be happy to touch them up for anyone
interested in purchasing.(It'a a fairly heavy board)
