All Dressed Up-Acrylic-2005-I took a clear glass vase and made it
porcelain. I tried to portray the vase as an evening gown from the days
of Marilyn Monroe. I think the dark blue against the pure white gives it
drama and the grapes give it some style.
PRICE: $225
Size: 12x24

Venice in the Afternoon-Acrylic-2006-This was a painting, that I started
early in the year and I finally finished it in November. I have never
been to Italy but I took many photos that I found over the internet to
create the mood of the water city.
PRICE: $1000
Size: 48x24

Cool in the Evening-Acrylic-2006-This was my attempt to loosen up
my brushstrokes and create more of a mood than an image. I used a
Renoir card as my point of reference. The composition and the
aloofness of the stems but keep within my own style.
PRICE: $500
Size: 18x24

Glass and Grapes-Acrylic 2005-I was trying to paint glass and render it
perfectly, these are two carafes that are all glass and I had them stand
together. The grapes are garnishing them.
PRICE: $250
Size: 18x24

Pom Poms in Blue Carafe-Acrylic 2005-I tried to paint this as a
watercolor and keep the colors sheer but yet be strong in composition.
I like how the blue carafe came out. The flowers are supposed to be
playful in the carafe.
PRICE: $750
Size: 24x48

Milk Glass with Draping Grapes-Acrylic-2006-This is a rendering of a
milk glass candy dish. I tried to get the cuts to appear in the painting.
The peach-orange gives it a Tuscany feel. I have glazed this one with
roofing tar and polyurethane mixture. The paint becomes warmer
almost an antique finish.
PRICE: $450
Size: 18x24

Pewter Jar with Flowers-Acrylic-2006-This was a study using a picture I
saw in a magazine with a silver dish with roses tightly arranged and
using a toothpick holder as a reference. Added the premature yellow
roses lying down to give it some softness. I didn’t want to glaze this
one, because I liked the brighter colors.
PRICE: $200
Size: 18x18

Roses For You-Acrylic-2005-I have been told that the roses in the
vase almost look tattooed on the painting. Originally I was going to fill
it in and make them a little more solid, but I wasn’t too sure if I should
keep them there. So any ways, I think the vase looks iridescent and
shimmers.
PRICE: $225
Size: 12x24

Brown Glass-Acrylic-2005-This is a brown glass jar where again, I was
trying to render it perfectly, get the lighting a little dramatic.
PRICE: $150
Size: 14x18

Picnic-Acrylic-2006-07-I started this on the fly at the end of the year
and I began to paint on an old canvas. You can see the many layers of
paint that has built up on it over the years. I think it’s got a lot of playful
lines and forms that have been created.
PRICE: 225
Size: 24x16

In A Blue Mood-Acrylc-2005-This is the first painting I did, after not
painting for quite some time. I got some tips from a cousin and he
showed me how to glaze my paintings with roofing tar and
polyurethane. I think this has a great melancholony feel to it with the
three roses and the bright lemon gives it a sense of hope.
PRICE: $500
Size 24x24

Grapes in Champagne Glass-Acrylic-1994-I painted this a long time
ago when I was painting for food at Café Tu Tu Tango. I think the
colors and the brushstrokes are great and create a sense of
movement while looking restful.
PRICE: $650
Size: 18x24

Beachside-Acrylic-1993-This is one of my favorite paintings from my
college days, I think because it’s peaceful and fun to look at with all
the colors. I have painted smaller versions of this for other people over
the years.
PRICE: $750
Size: 35x35

Tabletop-Acrylic 2007-This was my last painting I did before the show
opening. I wanted to give this one a little more stability with the table
underneath as well as the delicateness of the glass and fruit.
PRICE: $400
Size: 18x24

Vase with Dried Tiger Lillies-Acrylic-2007-This is another still life that I
did last fall. I wanted to make the white vase almost glow and the dried
Tiger Lillies was just an exercise in rendering something different.
PRICE: $450
Size: 18x24

Milk Glass with Grapes- Acrylic-2007-I was trying to see if I could
repeat myself and I think I did~
PRICE: $550
Size: 18x24

Last painting is not for sale, it was a gift and I can repeat an earlier one

Andycakes-Acrylic 2008- This take on Andy Warhol's self portrait
morphed into a cupcake was for Dimensions Gallery 1st Anniversary.
It was a donated piece but I can repeat it.
PRICE: $150
Size: 12x14
