My old spinet piano...It was the family piano that I learned on when
I was a little kid. My father played great old tunes on it most of
his life. Now, when I take a painting break, I sit down and play
for a while,it often seems as though he is with me..

"It's Not ALL Black & White"
oil on canvas - 6"x 8"

A big universal question that has been thrown around,
theorized about and created many debates in the art world is:
"What is art?" Everyone seems to have an opinion on the topic.
I find myself asking this question when I come across certain
works of "art". As this painting shows........I wonder what does
an all white painting or all black painting REALLY say?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

"Time is a Funny Thing"
art museum series
oil on canvas
8"x8"

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.

Wassily Kandinsky Biography - 1866-1944-(Russian born Wassily Kandinsky is considered as the inventor and theorist of abstract painting in the 20th century. In 1910 Wassily Kandisnky had seen an Islamic art exhibition in Munich - a highly decorative art style that does not allow to show images of human beings. The same year Kandinsky created his first abstract painting.

"Getting into Pollock"
art museum series
oil on canvas
8"x8"

I had a lot of fun doing this one; doing an "action" painting like Pollock, only in a very small scale.

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement.
