"Two Women on the Path"

Oil/Linen Canvas        36"  x   24"

Here in this painting I used an old castle wall (Cadiz, Spain) and path way to inspire a painting with two women, one more open to the times and the other more conservative.  I wanted to show a conflict in dress but not a conflict in the women.  I used the same model for the two figures.

"Once In Time"

Oil/linen Canvas     30"  x  24"

This painting has tension and a look that I think is open to interpretation.  I believe that most of my paintings are meant to be that way.

"An Understanding"

Oil/Linen Canvas   18"  x  24"

In this painting it's all about the look.  The shapes in the background support the strong diagonal of the figure.

This painting is about the head dress, light and dark.

"White Fur Hat"

This half nude figure had good lighting and the pose was right for a painting.  The fur hat added to the painting also.

"Contentment"

Here the model came into the studio with red hair and so I wrapped her in a red and orange shaw to make the painting very warm.

The model and the surroundings are all made in small, medium and large shapes.  This is a painting that I like because of the simplicity and textures.

"Expectations"

Oil      36"  x   24"

This is a painting that I thought would stand alone.  The color of the costume and the movement of the figure worked well. The large vase gave support to the composition.

"Dance for the Moment"

Oil 30" x 24"

Here in this painting, the model was moving like a dancer. The colors were dark and warm and she was very light, it gave a very dramatic feel to the painting.

"Out for the Day"

Oil       36"  x  24"

This painting was also inspired in Spain as well. I was in Cordoba and I saw a very nice foyer at a hostal. The idea was to have a woman coming out of the hostal, and kind of showing herself off in a quite way.

"Alone with my Thoughts"

Oil             54"  x  36"

I photographed this model while I was in Ayllon, Spain.   I had looked over the landscape first and decided to have the model pose at this site.  The landscape had wheat fields and rolling hills.  The sun was setting and the light was warm.  The models expression had a far away look and I thought this was perfect for the painting that I wanted.

I hope that this day and all the days to come are the best ever for us all. Happy New Year!

"Unsaid"

Oil          24"  X   18"

This model had an intensive look, her face said so much, no words were necessary.  Her hair is red and lends to the overall feeling of the painting.
