That Moment of Regret

Take a sneak peak at my newest painting. Calling this one, "That Moment of Regret". Haven't we all had those moments? Had fun putting this together. Oil on gessoboard: 20"x16"  Limited Edition giclees and prints will be available soon.

The Last Thing The Spider Ever Saw

My newest painting, oil on dibond aluminum, 30"x40"    Inspired by my friend Caroline who confessed to being afraid of spiders. I decided to turn the tables and show how frightening we must be to spiders. Reproductions are available upon request.

Here's my newest oil painting, entitled "Life's Little Disappointment." Had fun painting this and many thanks to my models who were such good sports. This will be on display next weekend at the La Jolla Arts Festival. Come visit!

First Place in the San Diego Fair!!

Last night my oil painting "Salad Daze" won First Place in the San Diego Fair. It was a thrilling evening, and a bit overwhelming for someone so new to the world of painting. The show opens today at the San Diego Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and is in the Turf Club. It's a wonderful show and there is alot of great art on display. Everyone who was juried into the show should be proud. Good work, everyone!

Friends of La Jolla Library

Today was the Artists' Reception at the La Jolla Library for their new show, One Subject Photo Show. All photo images were of the La Jolla Library. I had 3 pieces juried in and at today's opening reception this piece was the first (and so far only) work to sell. It is a surprisingly wonderful show and I encourage everyone in the area to see it. Lovely images. I'll be donating my proceeds to the Friends of La Jolla Library. This is the first Photography Art Show I've ever entered, so I'm delighted that it has been such a positive experience.

A Head Too Crowded

"A Head Too Crowded"   This is my recent self-portrait, a digital painting done in Photoshop. Friends and relatives have suggested that I do a self-portrait, but I've resisted, not wanting to dote. But my final assignment in a recent Digital Painting Class at Mesa College was to do a self-portrait...so I was cornered. In the end, I had great fun. I surrounded myself with actors/characters I've painted over the past 12 months, so I'm in grand company. I was less than flattering to many of these people, so I figured I had to be willing to jab myself, too. It was a fun experience.
