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.
This vintage colander belonged to my wife's late Grandmother who collected all sorts of vintage and classic kitchen tools and items. This colander hangs in our kitchen.

I completed this small painting (9" x 12" on canvas) last week. It is being shipped to the Elliott Fouts Gallery tomorrow for my opening with David Lobenberg February 2010. I am very fortunate to have the luxury to work with Elliott who has given me this opportunity to exhibit my new work. In this day and age with the economy the way it is, I am honored to being given a chance to showcase some of my work. If you want to see a peek of the show contact the Gallery and they will make arrangements to send you some of images that will be on display.
