Cherry Pie in Tin Plate-Oil Painting

I must admit, my wife makes the best apple and cherry pie around. However, this pie was bought at a bakery - my bad. I wanted to try to capture the aluminum plate. I thought the red from the cherries and the cool tones would play well together. They do! I had fun painting this very expressive composition.

By the way, after my wife saw this painting, she immediately baked me a cherry pie - spoiled I know.

Eggs and Toast Still Life

I guess I'm pretty nuts about my breakfast. I wait for the weekends. My wife and I try to go out to a different Diner every weekend for breakfast. I start my Saturdays with a nice cup of coffee, eggs and pancakes. Call me a sinner. This little painting is a very expressive in its approach and realism.

Flower- Rose Still Life with Rain Drop

Floral still life. I started a small floral series.This particular flower painting really focuses on the rain drops. Since I enjoy painting marbles so much, rain drops (with its reflections and shine) is perfect for my type of style. Almost surreal !

Corning Ware Tea Pot - Still Life

This classic retro (probably from the 1970's) was a real classic of my parents. This little tea pot from Corning Ware I believe is really a little throw back to the 70's. I really enjoy the pattern on the face of the tea pot.

Coffee with Dad - Still Life

A number of years ago my Dad and I would stop for a muffins and coffee before he and I would go to work on renovating some old house in Detroit. My dad is a retired carpenter who enjoyed fixing up old houses. I'll never forget those mornings he and I would chat over coffee and talk sports, politics and work. He is 80 now and he still works like a dog. Must be the old Italian blood in him. This painting may seem simple, but to me it is like a froze one second of our time together.
