"THE BRIDAL FITTING", 8 x 10, oil on canvasboard

My recently married daughter is the model for this sketch in oil. I plan a larger work based on it. I used brushes instead of knives to capture the softness of the folds.

"TEA CUP AND STRAWBERRIES", 8 x 10, oil on canvasboard

Brushes instead of palette knives again. A fun little still-life with a big, quirky perspective!

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

"UNION SQUARE CHESS GAME", 12 x 16, oil on canvasboard

"CHERRY BLOSSOMS", 16 X 20, oil on canvas board

My favorite spring bloom of all. I can't let the season go by without at least one painting.

"SPRING WHITES", roughly 14 x 12, oil on canvasboard

Here I challenged myself to paint whites with a lot of color! This opens up a whole new channel of creativity for artists; assigning colors to different values, yet still conveying 'white'.
