Finished!

This is the commission I have been working on for about a month now.  It's 48x60 inches.  I am very excited to show my client today. Have a great weekend. I will be starting some new pieces next week and I cannot wait.

In Search Of Gaia

                                                                     SOLD

                       “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” ~Henri Matisse



The inspiration for this painting comes from various sources. One in particular would be my middle son Maxwell. He has had a great influence on Scott and myself over the past 6 months, as passionate young adults often do. In his search for what to do with his life, one thing has remained constant, his caring for the environment. After many discussions and soul searching he has decided to head out to Northern California to a remote farm and learn first hand how to live self sufficiently, treading very lightly on the earth. He hopes to take what he learns there and create his own homestead someday. We are really going to miss him.
This painting is 20x24 painted on a cradled birch wood panel. The sides are painted to match.

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

This is my first new painting of 2011.  I have another right behind this one but will post it tomorrow hopefully.  It feels great to get back to work.  Many new pieces coming.

Painting for Nancy

This is a commission piece I just finished for a client in Lexington , MA. I enjoyed incorporating her favorite Saint, shown on the pillow, her longing for happy times in California and her kitty, and her pet pig! Oh and she was a punk rocker in the 80's!

This painting was 16x20 done on stretched cotton and framed with a beautiful burnished gold plein air frame.
