Arrangement with Creme de Menthe

Oil on panel, 7 x 5

Orange Bowl

Oil on panel, 7 x 5

Actually, Orange, Bowl, and Glass.

Orange and Glass

Oil on panel, 7 x 5

Oranges and wood are beautiful together, don't you think? Harmonious colors. And glass goes with lots of things. Just an abstract design that happens to use realistic objects.

Sake Bottle and Cup with Blossoms

Oil on panel, 7 x 5 in     Private collection.

OK, so I like sake bottles and cups. Maybe I'll do something different one of these days. I hope you enjoy this one.

Blue Kimono

                                                     

Oll on panel, 12 x 9 in

Japanese traditional culture  --  clothing, women's hair styles, architecture, bonsai horticulture, landscape -- is full of great design. It makes nice subject matter for paintings.

Karen's grandparents

A charcoal portrait of a friend's grandparents, the first portrait in a while.

Sake Bottle

Oil on panel. 6 x 6 inches (15.24 x 15.24 cm.)
Sold

Another in the sake cup and bottle series. This will be shown at the 11th annual Segil Fine Art Small Works show in Monrovia, CA. Show dates are Dec 7 - 31, 2013.

Also in the show will be "Blue Kimono", a 9 x 12 inch oil painting which is "finished", but I'm still doing some tweaking on it. I'll post a photo of it in a few days.

Portrait of Jonathan and Michelle

A recent portrait commission, charcoal on toned paper.

Sake Cup with Orange

A variation on the sake cup theme.

Oil on hardboard panel, 6 x 6 inches (15.24 x 15.24 cm).

Sake Cup and Marbles

I've had this sake cup for a while, but no sake.  So I thought I would put it to some other good use, like in a still life. I could write about the design process, or the learning curve I endured trying to get a good photo and match the colors, but that's probably not interesting to a lot of people. I like the painting, and I hope you enjoy looking at it.
