"The Proposal"
oil on canvas
11"x14"
This was a commission that has a really fun story!
I was approached by a young man who had BIG plans to propose to his sweetheart. These big plans included the idea of having a painting of the way he imagined it would be on that day. He had EVERY detail worked out in his head. It seemed like a big challenge but he was so sweet and it was such a romantic idea that I took it on.
He sent lots of photos of himself and his gal and said it would be on a path at a particular woods, what he would be wearing, what she would be wearing (even the shoes they would wear, how he would propose and make sure a black ring box was in his hand. Now,take into consideration that I had never met the gal and all the photos he sent me were not 3/4 or profile views and NOT in the special blue dress!

"The Nude"
oil on 1.5" deep canvas
6"x8"
A colorful nude attracts some attention.
In today's piece I worked on creating more contrast.
By putting the foreground figures in more of a
shadow or silhouette lighting it created a stronger
contrast and draws the eye to the colorful nude.

"Time is a Funny Thing"
art museum series
oil on canvas

Mother and daughter viewing a Kandinsky painting.
This painting made me think of clocks and time, hence the title.
I know that I have many images that are captured in my mind
of quiet moments that were spent with my mother.
Those moments in time are very special.
