Lily with Pan Still Life



I always enjoyed floral paintings but I seem to have strayed away from it in the past few years. I thought this composition would be interesting. The scratchy Teflon makes for a cool background . The pizza pan seems to be my trade mark lately. I guess you can tell I'm a paesan.

Family Circle - Pots and Pans

I recently completed this large canvas painting (24" x 24") for the Miller Gallery. I had fun with the comics (you have to look really close but its there). I have several smaller paintings with this type of theme going to the Elliott Fouts Gallery for my exhibition in February. Hope to post those images larger next week.

I got this idea going through some old kitchen pots and pans at an estate sale. The woman who lived in this old house in the outskirts of Detroit used old newspaper and comics as a lining for her cabinets and drawers. Hence this painting.

Glass with Lime and Lemon Still Life Painting

I've not posted many paintings in the past few weeks because I have started a new body of work that I am pretty excited about.

Periodically, I will post a few to give you a glimpse.

Grandmothers Letter Scale Still Life

My wife's Grandmother who passed away some years ago at the age of 102 left us this letter scale. I found it so different and unique. My wife and her Grandmother shared many letters when she was a child. She loved to visit her Grandmother's farm in Ohio. The farm has since been sold. Our family misses her and her little farm land in Findlay Ohio.
