Boots

This is one of my first drawings, many years old. Not bad, for a beginner

The Ball Player

This is an old drawing of mine, an early experiment done many years ago

Line Figure 2

Another old one from Mom's wall

I Love You

Another favorite from my mother's kitchen

Mom's Gargoyle

This Gargoyle is another old picture in my mother's collection. It's one of my favorites

Mom's collection 1

This picture is one of the oldest in my mother's collection

Disgusting

This picture is in my mother's kitchen. She bought it because it looks so disgusting.! Between the fish on a platter and the pheasant with the wing in the air, we find it quite shocking.

Strange Rainbow

One problem I have always had is a lack of patience. I usually finish a work in fifteen or twenty minutes. I know the best paintings are works you spend time creating and putting a lot of detail in. This is my first attempt to put in a lot of time and detail in. I spent about an hour on this piece
multiple acrylics on 9X12 canvas board.

Pin Stripes

 Titanium white & mars black acrylic paint on 16X20 canvas board

White pinstripes on Black

part of new pin stripe collection.
 
1/18/13
Looking at it, a few months later, I'm not happy with it. Too much of a black board look

Albers Square 1

I didn't get the lines straight or centered but that doesn't matter. Josef Albers squares are displays of hues and tones.

movement

Another attempt at movement

Stix

I like this piece because of its contrast of tones and hues. Though the orange strokes are just one of three hues, they stands out because of the brightness of their tone, as well as their vericle positioning.
