oil 11x11 inches Purchase info here. I really enjoy painting the things of childhood. It conjures up memories of my own childhood and thoughts of my children and grandchildren. It's a magical time. When was the last time you smelled a brand new crayon? This painting is on hardwood 1/2 inch deep with sides stained. It is ready to hang or frame in a simple floater frame of your choice.

oil 12x16 inches magnify/purchase Here's a larger painting I finished recently. Lately I enjoy a set up that includes a variety of objects. A lot of what happens when setting up still life for me is intuitive, but I think what usually results in a good one is the right combination of color, shapes and texture. This is one of those paintings that is better in person. The camera doesn't get the subtle color shifts, and there is some glare in the background darks.
