Headlines

  Headlines is part of a series depicting the female figure reading.  Most of the time, in this series, the painting is based on one figure.  But in this work I depict almost a crowd of people reading.  It's a challenge to edit the details and simplify. But at the same time, keep the painting together.

Girls on Beach

Kick Stand

  Kick Stand is part of a series of works that illustrates the female figure reading.  I usually do a couple of these paintings every week.  I started rendering these figures in indoor settings, like subways, due to the adverse weather conditions.  But after doing a few, I think I'll stay with it.

The Phone Call

  The Phone Call is part of a series that has to do with scenes in diners or restaurants.  In this scene, the figures are all squeezed to the left leaving a large empty space under the clock.  Combined with the figures ambiguous relationship, this painting has a very "Hopperesque" type feel.
