"SECOND THOUGHTS"

This was painted back in 2008 oil on a linen Raymar panel.  I've always loved this classical pose and used it in several other paintings.  It's 11 x 14 inches done in a life drawing setting and finished later in the studio from photo references.

"RED TENT"

I have much reference material from fairs.  I like this one because of the wild colors so typical at events such as this.  Adults and kids having fun......i didn't notice it when the shot was taken but there seems to be a little scenario going on which give it that little bit of ambiguity. Hope you can see it.  This is oil 8 x 8 inches on canvas panel.

AMOIRE & CHAIRS

This is an interior scene which is very special to me.  I stay here when painting Mendocino with a friend.  We usually stay about a week and since it usually rains some of the days interiors get painted often.  The ambiance is charming....antiquated...somewhere between antiques and hippy decor.
