Notting Hill Station
I've been working on and off, (mostly off) on this painting over the past couple of years. I have had it hanging on the wall for a few months now and have decided it is done. I worked from a photo I took of Notting Hill Station in London a few years ago. I just loved the interplay of the brilliant sunlight and the shadows.

White Light
In this painting, I wanted the figure to be engulfed by the white light coming in the window as if she were in a dream.

After a months long layoff, I am back painting again. This is the first of many more to come in 2013.
Several years ago, my wife, Anne, my sister Robin and I, took a road trip to Phoenix to enjoy the west and visit relatives. We had a wonderful time and this painting comes from the many photos I took in the desert.

The Valley of the Gods, is located just outside of Mexican Hat, UT, not far from Monument Valley. It is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited. There is a 17 mile drive on a narrow dirt road going through the area. If you ever get close to this magnificent place, be sure to drive through. Especially if you are there at first light.
To purchase this painting for $200, email me.

Édouard Manet is considered by many to be the father of Impressionism. In 1863, he painted, Olympia, a nude that was seen by many as scandalous. What shocked people was not the nudity itself, there had been many other nudes before Manet's, but it was the fact that she seemed so comfortable in her nudity and the intense look directly at the viewer. That is what I am trying to do with this painting. Show a lovely woman in a pose that clearly says she is at ease with herself, and willing to look the viewer in the eye. This work was inspired by a photo of model, Luba Korovina, taken by Russian photographer, Oleg Kosyrev, (http://www.photosight.ru/users/2063/) who graciously allowed me to use it for reference.
