NYNY #7

  NYNY #7 is part of the series to do with New York City.  This image was done in early spring when the weather was still cold.  Most people on the street are wearing black coats and this group assembled makes one big dark shape.  In contrast, I put the details in the light shapes.

Coming and Going #65

  Coming and Going #65 is part of a series.  These works in particular are part of the longest ongoing series I've done.  I started these paintings back in 2009 when one day I was walking downtown in the summer.  I was struck by the contrast of the white business shirts coming out of the dark shadows.

Reader #67

  Reader #67 is part of a series illustrating the female figure reading.  I don't hire models or pose people.  The subjects I find are random people in their natural environment.  Also, note the blue shadow on the book the subject is holding is the same blue as the water in the background, linking the background with foreground.

Beach #25

  Beach #25 is part of a series depicting the figure in strong sunlight.  As in the movies, one figure has to be the main character.  In this painting, the figure on the far right in the foreground, fits the part.

NYNY #6

  NYNY #6 is part of a series of cityscapes depicting NYC.  This image is of a street in midtown where it's difficult to find much sunlight due to the taller buildings.  The design of the painting is based on the concept of pulling lites out of darks and vice versa.

Cityscape #43

  Cityscape #43 is part of the series focusing on urban landscapes.  In this case, the cityscape has the effect of rain.  I've noticed the rainy cityscapes are more popular than the sun drenched urban landscapes.

Cityscape #40

  Cityscape #40 is part of a series to do with the urban landscape.  This painting is the only one in the series that has an aerial view.  I try to eliminate details and break it down into a design.  The Chicago lakefront works well for this.

Reader #66

  Reader #66 is part of a series depicting the female figure reading in various poses and situations.  The beach is an excellent place to find people reading.  The voyeuristic perspective along with the darker than should be sky, give the painting more meaning than just a replication.
