I removed this painting and reworked it. There were one or two small things that I just didn’t like. Now I think it really works well.

Lemon and a half

"Lemon and a half"
6x6 oil painting on archival panel

Sold - private collection

Here is a still life of a lemon and a half of a lemon on a saucer. I thought this composition would make a nice painting. For such a simple still life there sure is a lot going on. The light blue cloth, the red orange and yellow of the lemon, the blues and yellows reflected in the saucer, and the subtle purple in the shadows. Not to mention the translucent quality of the lemon half.

If you like my work or visit my BLOG please leave comments or send me an email. A link to contact me is on my profile page. Would love to hear from you. Right now I don't think many people even know I'm on here. I've decided to lower my reserve prices on auctions to hopefully jump start a few sales.

Beehive Blender No. 1

Beehive Blender No. 1
6x6 oil painting on archival panel

This is the last painting for a short while. I have a wedding to attend and some car repairs to do. Then I’ll be back at my easel. I picked up this old beehive shaped blender that looks really cool and I had to make a painting of it. All the reflections were a bunch of fun to paint. Well, for me it was fun. I do think I’ll be making series of paintings featuring this blender. Maybe even a large painting or two.

The Liberation of St. Peter

This is a reproduction (not for sale) at 28” x 34” in oil that I work on occasionally. The title of the original is “The Liberation of St. Peter" by Sebastiano Ricci painted in 1722. I have a book called “The Glory of Venice” that contains a picture of this painting. I loved the composition so much I decided I had to make a reproduction for myself. We also moved shortly after I started this one and so it always seems to be on the back burner. I hope to complete it someday, but it always takes a back seat since it's not for sale. It has inspired me to consider doing my own series of angel paintings. I’m still in the gathering of ideas stage for that so it will be a while before I start. I have started work on a new series of small photo realist paintings and I’ll be posting them on here when they are complete and dry.
