A number of years ago I was greatly influenced by the work of Andrew Wyeth (who's death is a great loss) and Robert Vickrey. I experimented for several years with egg tempera and gold leaf. In addition, the early Religious paintings of the 13th and 14th century have always been one part of history that fascinated me. I enjoyed the gold leaf and the art of egg tempera with the use of cross hatching. Andrew Wyeth practice this technique as did Robert Vickrey (who I met at an opening in Michigan a number of years ago).
Having said that, I started a small series called 'ICONS' (small 4" x 4" on wood) that illustrate some of these fascinating and intriguing religious icons and figures. My paintings are not done in tempera but in oil. I use 23 k gold leaf with wood engraving. The subject is very different for me and I suspect that I will get some interesting feedback. The paintings are not intended to be religious (far from it). I know this is not my normal still life paintings but I plan on only doing a small number of series. I have provided the Elliott Fouts Gallery these paintings and they are available through his Gallery only for a limited time. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me or the Elliott Fouts Gallery for additional information.
Coming this February, I will be exhibiting at the Elliott Fouts Gallery along with Philippe Gandiol and Marie Therese Brown.

This painting is 12 x 27 on canvas. These packages of puddling mixes date back to the 1960's. This will be on exhibit and available starting February.
I will be exhibiting a number of paintings that involve many of my nostalgic food packaging art.
Along with these paintings, I will be exhibiting my small series of paintings called "4 x 4". These small paintings are perhaps my favorite and more intimate pieces. I feel like I am creating something personal and close to me to share. Many of these paintings are paintings of marbles, tea sets, flowers and a variety of subjects. I am debating on expanding my subject to portraits and landscapes. Whatever the case, these little paintings are fun to create.
