Italy Market 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape of Italy

SOLD

The quaint street markets in Italy were abundant and each had its own unique character. The flower market here was quite busy and the owner seemed to know everybody by name and what they were looking for. Nobody had to really make a decision the shop owner made the selection with out consultation. It was extraordinary to watch.

Allie Acrylic 12 x 9 Pet Portrait

SOLD

Terry and Shawna Zwart commissioned me to paint their Pups. This is the second of two. Both dogs are up there in age but needless to say are the light of their lives. Allie was so attached to Zues that she was easy to photograph as long as Zues was around. I used a simplified abstract background to accentuate her wonderful expression and features.

Passion 6 x 6 Mixed Media Resin Coated Abstract

$125.00 + $10.00 S/H

I am going to post a few of my smaller abstracts. I've had great fun pushing my artistic boundaries by exploring my abstract inclinations and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. I have found that in this type of painting its all intuition and that alone it quite the challenge for me. My impressionist painting relies on a more literal interpretation of the subject. In this work the interpretation is the subject. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am.

The people and city were as intoxicating as the food.
