A commission for Christmas. Sometimes I know early in the work that the painting is going to work. This was a joy to watch evolve.

London Bridge...
I love the title of this latest "kinetic" still life, the falling blocks absolutely dictated the choice. It always brings a smile. It comes with a QR code which plays London Bridge is Falling Down...

Losing My Marbles
One of the difficult parts of this painting was, of course, the marbles. Because they have to be accurately round. The fun of painting them was all the swirling colors. I especially like that the transparent green marble magnifies the linen weave.
I was able to sell this one before it was finished. The client waited three months before I was able to deliver it. Thank you J, for your patience!

Parking in Denver
The first in an ongoing series of signs.
I love the brilliant colors of this sign. I spotted it while jogging down the street, late for a lunch meeting. I snapped a photo and ran on. Took me two years to get around to painting it. I found that the work was in painting the building, getting the angles right so it would not look like it was falling over. Painting the sign was the fun!
