Near the Window

  Near the Window is another in the series of the female figure reading.  I've spent countless hours studying the works of Richard Diebenkorn and how he arranged his works.  This painting reflects his influence more than other works I've done.

Reading Glasses

  Reading Glasses is part of a series focusing on the female figure reading.  I've been doing paintings for this series since about 2009.  But I always try to keep it moving in a direction to keep from getting stale.  For example, in this painting, the color is made up from my imagination rather than copying nature.

Lawn Chair in Shade

  Lawn Chair in Shade is part of a series to do with the female figure reading in various poses and situations.  In this case, relaxing in a lawn chair with half the figure in shadow.  I try to down play the figure's face as much as possible.  I don't want it to be the center of attention.

Wide Expanse

  Wide Expanse is part of a series to do with beach scenes.  The summer was unusually cold and rainy in Chicago.  The crowded, masses of people on the beach wasn't there. In fact, it was a very sparse crowd.

Lime Green

  Lime Green is part of a new series I started this year.  This series has to do with people eating and conversing during lunch.  I couldn't help but listen, as I walk around with my camera, the conversations people are having during lunch.  Lunch seems to be the only time during the day that people get to let out their feelings and ideas.
