Going Big
I think of myself as a miniaturist.
Sort of.
It’s probably more accurate to say that I think big but paint small – the vast majority of my paintings are under 100 square inches – and many are considerably smaller.
But – now and then, it is good to do things differently, and sometimes I want to work bigger.
To me it’s sort of like the author who normally writes short stories, but now and then needs to say what they have to say in a novel.
So, this is one of my novels – I’m proud to introduce “Olives, Creamer, Ginger Jar, and Pear” – at 18×30 inches, it is one of the largest still life paintings I have done.
This painting was inspired by the old Spanish still life tradition. They frequently call their still lifes “Bodegons” – which literally means “pantry” – a nod to the fact that so much still life revolves around the celebration of the simple pleasures of food and drink.
This painting is available – please contact me for more information.
So – that is the end of the tour, but there is still a LOT of art to see.

If you would prefer to see all of the paintings in the show at once, you can skip ahead to the gallery page.
