I have four new pieces that I would love to share with you. Let me know what your think about them. I have noticed, over the last year, that my "style" is evolving. I also feel that I have become a better technician during the last year. Agree or disagree! Love them or hate them! Drop me a line.

New Haven After Dark

acrylic on paper

14" x 14"

 

One evening, a few months ago, while going home I noticed 2 dismembered Barbie legs on the sidewalk - under a tree. No other bits of Barbie - just the legs. I couldn't resist. I whipped out the cell phone and took a picture. I just knew I had to paint it. So indicative of New Haven "after dark"!

 

Nyads and Dryads

acrylic on paper

18" x 24"

 

I've always had a facination for Greek mythology. Back in the day Edith Hamilton was required reading. During a recent "book cull" I found that I had four - count them - four volumes of Edith Hamilton's Greek mythology! At any rate, I started thinking about Dryads - I really like trees, too. This painting evolved over a period of time - I thought it should be treated "classically" with an almost art deco feel.

 

Forest

18" x 24"

 

While sitting in the doctors office I was perusing one of those glossy travel magazines. This is actually a compilation of several photos. I particularly like the dark, dramatic almost mysterious roots while the trees grow towards the light of the sky.

Sumacs, Early Autumn, Newport

acrylic on paper

18" x 24"

While in Newport, RI this past autumn we "did the cliff walk". No matter how many times I have walked it, there is still something new and beautiful. Frankly, I found this stand of sumacs much more beautiful than the mansions behind them - they were starkly limned against the sky.
