Market Day


Oil/canvas • 24" x 36"• SOLD

This painting was inspired from a photo of a woman selling her produce. I only used her as a starting point and invented all the baskets, produce and background. Painting fruit and vegetables is always irresistible because of the wonderful color contrasts they offer.

Church in the West



16" x 20" • oil/canvas •
SOLD

This painting was based on a photo in the Southern California Auto Club Magazine. The church and building is about the only part that was in the photo and I added the landscaping and flowers in the foreground. I sorta "rebuilt" the building the way I wanted it to look.
