Tuesday Morning Market   Oil on Canvas
Image 28 x 40     Framed 29.5 x 41.5     $2,000

“Shown is a town market in Provence. The challenge is to make the colors of mushrooms and onions and root vegetables evoke the rich fragrance that had to be left behind in the marketplace.”

6th Avenue   Oil on Canvas
Image 36 x 36     Framed 37.5 x 37.5     $2,500

“Rockefeller Center is defined by cliffs of stone and glass, Art Deco petroglyphs, and neon greetings. Only the Building Engineer knows why the same letters are turned off on both signs. An alternate title for this painting is ‘Purloined Letters.’”

Artist's Statement:
My paintings are representational, and they tend to be large and detailed. It is traditional to discount the content of art works relative to their design and art technique, but I attach more importance to content than this. In a lifetime many arresting images are recorded in a person’s memory (and perhaps by his camera), and some of these deserve to be developed into paintings. I tend not to paint “pretty” pictures, instead favoring images that make a statement, record an ambience, or pose a question or contain ambiguity that is provocative enough to make a gallery visitor pause and think for a few heartbeats during his scan of the works in an exhibition.
