Pink Chair



Pink Chair
6"x9"
Acrylic on panel

I was going through some stuff in my life when I painted this...Didn't realize the significance of painting  a pink chair in an empty room until much later...Thought about doing a series with the same  room as a background, but different objects and people in each scene...haven't carried it further yet...

Lake George Sunset



Lake George Landscape
10"x24"
Acrylic on canvas

When I lived in upstate NY we would often go to the Algonquin restaurant down the street. I remember this sunset..we got to the restaurant early to see the colors in the lake and sky change..after grabbing a drink we headed to Lake George Village to walk around.  I thought the pinks, purples, and blues were really beautiful on this evening in particular.

Apple and Cinnamon Stick II



Apple and Cinnamon Stick II
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel



Companion piece to the apple painting I posted recently. Each apple has a different shape and color which gives it its own unique personality. I like the green in the background...don't know why, but makes me think of The Wizard of Oz...scene with the flying monkeys...all of those beautiful colors...

"Sliced Apple"

This is the second painting I've done of an apple cut open..Since October is apple season, it seemed like a good time to do another one. I love the way the red apple looks against a purple background..

Fairy Tale Eggplants & Mushroom


  "Fairy Tale Eggplants and Mushrooms"6x6 Acrylic on panel

 I was at Whole Foods looking for something to paint. I saw these little eggplants and thought they were cute. Then I noticed they are called fairy tale eggplants. What goes better with a fairy tale Eggplant  than a mushroom!? Makes me think of the Smurfs or Fantasia.
