The Hideaway

11" x 14" • oil/canvas • $200

This painting came out of my head--- probably a part of my obsession with tropical themes! I would love to have a place like this with the steps leading down to a white sandy private beach with a beautiful aqua colored sea. Aahhh.... Wouldn't it be nice?

Desert Vista

8" x 10" • oil on panel • $100

This is an earlier work from the years I lived in Palm Desert, CA. It's all pretty much invented out of my head with images borrowed from what you can see away from all the fancy schmancy homes and stores etc.

Purple Haze Callas

8" x 10" • oil/canvas • $125

This painting is a smaller version of a previous one. Calla Lilies seem to be a favorite subject for many artists, and what can I say, I'm one of them!

Papaya Delight

6" x 6" • oil/canvas • $85

I've been working with this color palette and it seems to work well with painting fruits and vegetables. I think using the oranges and yellows with the turquoise and purple/lavender really makes the painting pop.

Kamikaze Karrots

6" x 6" • oil/canvas • SOLD

When I finished this painting, I was trying to give it a title and I thought to myself, "these carrots look like they're diving off the canvas!" and there it was.

Have a Half

6" x 6" • oil/wrapped canvas • SOLD

I was trying to solve the problem of half an apple floating on the canvas and nothing to hold it down. I couldn't figure out where to end the turquoise outline without still giving the "floating" look. Then the duh moment came to simply create a slight shadow/horizon and there it was!

Yummy Avocado

5" x 7" • oil/wrapped canvas • $90

Since I've been painting in this smaller format, I find the size really lends itself to the real size of the subject matter which to me, is more appealing to the eye. Somehow painting this avocado in a size such as say, 24" x 30", would make it more like a monster avocado eating up the wall space!
