Reader #62

  Reader #62 is part of a series depicting the female figure reading.  This figure is poolside during a summer day in Chicago.  In the past year I've studied some of the Bay Area Figurative Painters of the 50's and 60's.  They were a lesser known group than the Jackson Pollock's New York scene during that period.

Diner and Pedestrians

  Diner and Pedestrians is different from some of the other works because it doesn't fit into a series.  Occasionally I try different subject matter or themes to see how it turns out. This is an example.  In many of Edward Hopper's paintings he plays with the theme of showing the inside and outside at the same time.

Cityscape #36

  Cityscape #36 is titled as part of a series of urban landscapes.  This scene is of a downtown area in Chicago.  I  look for cityscapes that have some mystery or narrative to them.  After spending 15 years as an editorial illustrator, I am still in the habit of telling some story or point of view.
