Sand and Surf, Palette KnifePainting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 12x12" Oil Painting on canvas, SOLD

Give a child a beach and a shovel, and he (or she) will have lots of fun and hopefully show their creative side.

SOLD

This is a friend's little son, several years ago.  When I saw the image, I knew I wanted to paint it, but as so often happens, it was pushed aside and didn't happen for several years.

Daily Painting, "In A World of Her Own", 8x6", Oil SOLD

During a recent trip to New York City with friends, we spent a few hours at a lovely Manhattan rooftop bar.

SOLD

This young woman was sitting across the roof top.  I was taken by her pose and snapped a quick photo.

When I began painting, I quickly realized that the background, a brick wall, was not what I wanted.  I decided to keep it simple and put the full focus on the woman and her skirt.

I suggested the wall with a few quick strokes of terra cotta.

Daily Painting, "Catching Up" 6x8, Oil SOLD

I was strolling through a Brooklyn park, when I found this lady, someone's grandmother, catching up with the day's events.

SOLD

Her eyesight must not have been the best, as she was holding the paper very close to her face.

Her hair was unevenly cut and it reminded me of my childhood days when my mother would sit me in a chair and chop away at my hair with her old scissors.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFF!!

SUNBABY II, OIL, 8X6, SOLD

We have had some very cold days here in Florida this week, as have many areas of  the US of A.  I thought I would post this painting from last summer, when it was hot and humid and we spent long days at the beach.

JILL IN RED, 5X7, OIL, SOLD

A few years ago, one of the my friend's daughter did a photo shoot with me. She is a really stunning lady and showed up in a killer red dress. I probably did 100 shots and did two paintings from it. This is the third, just a quickie. I realized that I was shying away from figures, so I have set a new goal to do several of them.
