Sunflowers in blue vase

The colors created by the movement of the light in this picture tell the story.

Rest Spot

My wife and I enjoy having a box lunch at Sayen Gardens in Hamilton, New Jersey.
This bench overlooks a wishing well and is surrounded by shade trees and shrubs that make it cool and refreshing on even the warmest days.

Portrait of the Artist








14X14 Oil on Board

I'm trying to shift from portraits to other subjects for a while, but this subject kept putting his narcissitic nose in the way.

At my age, you can't do a progressive series, so this is the portrait of the artist, period. My wife says the likeness is pretty good.

My hands really are that large, but this pose accentuates them, doesn't it?

Night At The Opera




I saw this picture and couldn't resist painting it. As students we sat WAY UP in the Family Circle at the Metropolitan Opera and now and then on the way up, we saw a lady dressed this way, accompanied by a dapper chap in a tuxedo.

We couldn't see much, but the music was wonderful!
