"Red, White & Blue"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"The other day, around lunchtime, I noticed this young man who
worked in the red & white (a fast food place)standing outside
taking a break. The place seemed almost deserted except for him.
It was a painting waiting to happen. The stark red & white building,
a beautiful blue sky with one dark figure in a red hat."

"For Rent"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"Today's piece is one of many scenes I see every day on the
street near the Ohio State Campus. I am sure you have you
noticed that nearly everyone you see walking are also talking
on their cell phones. It has become such a part of everyday
life that it is almost rare to see someone without it. "

"Back Street Grill"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"
contemporary figurative

"There is an area near downtown that is the location of large
indoor market and many little grills and restaurants. A lot of
people who work downtown will often frequent these places at lunchtime.
This painting is on one of the back streets that has access to
one of the grills. I really like the view of color and reflections
of the city in the windows.On this day I grabbed a bite of lunch
at the market, sat outside and did a little sketching."
