"Different Agendas"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"
contemporary figurative

"Today was another wonderful spring day. If I go downtown around
lunchtime...this is a typical view I get... The lunchtime rush.
People scurrying around, all with some sort of agenda, hence the
title. Here are two very different individuals that seem to be in
a hurry doing something? going somewhere?
When I do the studies for many of the people scenes I am always
making up a story in my head about them...it's so much fun!"

"Posh Pets"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"
figurative

"On one of my art outings, I happened to find this guy standing
under a sign for a local pet store. He stood there for a long time
grooming his little goatee. I thought his heart tattoo added to his
"pet" character. To me it was just one of those funny moments."

"Jukebox Lunch"
oil on canvas - 10"x10"

"Two men caught in a lunchtime conversation at a local cafe.
I love the old buildings in this area. I thought it was an
interesting contrast of the dark cozy setting inside and the
reflections of the bright city street in the window."
