Giving back is important. Seeing children reaching toward their dreams and their potential is amazing. The Achievable Dream schools in Newport News, Virginia help give at risk kids an extra hand up out of poverty through “character development-based education program.” This year, I’m offering four paintings at the annual auction. You can participate in the auction on Saturday, October 27th at the 20th Annual Achievable Dream Tennis Ball. Here are two of the paintings to be auctioned . . . .

There are several female figures lurking in these woods. Perhaps 10. Can you find them all?

Revising Bourbon Street Painting
May 1, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Another new painting in acrylics – or rather a redof an older one that never really satisfied me.
The subjects were actually performing in the street in New Orleans in front of a jazz band. I wanted more energy in the painting so there are areas of loose edges and scumbling to allow the viewer to read into the painting.

I have a number of new paintings showing at the Harbor Gallery. There are 11 paintings on display ranging in size from 8×10 to 36×48. What a great chance to see these paintings hung and image how they would look in your home or office.
If you’re in the Norfolk area, it’s a great way to see my fine art in person. You can visit the Harbor Gallery at 1508 Colley Ave. Norfolk, Virginia. Not sure where it is, give them a ring at: (757) 627-2787

Did I ever struggle with this painting. There must be 3 or 4 versions of it underneath all the paint. It was not until I had given up and threw all caution to the winds that I feel the real me emerged. I am a drawer- I love the line and the feel of drawing and when I finally yielded to it, this evolved -and I love it.

One of a series of bicyclists, this painting is based on nothing more than my interpretation of three racers. There is very little detail. Hopefully the feeling of cyclists racing has been successfully captured.
Several members of my family are serious cyclists. I am happy to paint a little abstractly. Those who enjoy activities, even on a hobby level, can get very uptight about details and accuracy.
