Mardi Gras, 12x12" Oil

When I do an abstract painting, it always mirrors my mood at that time.  The title of this work should give you some insight as to how I was feeling that day...........

240 + 15




Abstracts always seem so free and easy....just slap on some paint and a masterpiece will magically appear...NOT!


Some artists are able to do it that way, but I have to have an idea of a composition and a color palette in mind.  For me, the "vision" is the most difficult part.

If you have never tried an abstract, I highly recommend it.

"SOAR" 36x24"



$595. + 30


My painting group, Pieces of 8 is planning a group exhibition this summer at the local community college and we have all been working hard, getting our pieces ready.  The venue is fabulous and many entertainment giants have performed there, from Willie Nelson to Jerry Seinfeld to Mikhail Baryshnikov. The exhibition will be in the lobby, a huge room  with 30 ft ceilings.


I usually don't paint this large (24x36") because of difficulty storing and shipping but this had to be an exception.  I have a few more pieces to do for this exhibition and will post them as they are created.  I  don't know if they all have to be abstract as the other artists will be showing many different media.  I would love to hear your opinion......should I stick to abstract??
