Oil on harboard panel, 7"x5"

Experimenting with mood, expression and color combinations. Trying to create a completely new painting frequently is quite a challenge but I love when I find it taking me in different directions.

Beach Study - sold

Oil on Hardboard Panel 7"x5"

It's finally starting to feel like winter here which makes me miss summer. As always when I miss something I paint it. I'm also experimenting with a hardboard panel again and I like how distinct a paint stroke appears. It's also a nice archival surface and the panels look cute set on small easels for display on a shelf.

Pomegranate Study

Oil on Canvas Panel 5"x7"

Doing studies from life is one of my favorite things. Conveying realistic form and light while maintaining immediacy can be a challenge. While I also love doing detailed paintings, I'm very pleased that this pomegranate looks spontaneous and the brushwork is lively.
