Cherry Pie Still Life - Michigan Cheeries

Cherry season in Michigan and I can't resist the temptation for cherry pie. My wife and I have been busy picking raspberries and strawberries the last few weeks.

I am one lucky guy!

Check out the art gallery.

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. The paintings are much larger and the technique is very expressive for me. I hope to complete around 15 to 20 pieces and hopefully get a chance to exhibit them. Periodically, I will post a few to give you a glimpse.

This particular still life painting was shipped to California for display at the Elliott Fouts Gallery. If you are interested please send them an email.

Robots Crate Painting

A few weeks back I was channel surfing and came across 'Lost in Space'. I remember how much I used to love that show as a kid. After watching that for a few minutes I thought it would be fun to add a Robot to one of my crate paintings. So here it is....lol

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.

Our family misses her and her little farm land in Findlay Ohio.

Betty Boop No. #3 Still Life-Painting

When my daughter was born many years ago my first drawing I did for her was a silk screen t-shirt of Betty Boop. I'll never forget the tiny little shirt with the face of Betty Boop on the front.

Since then, I've painted several different versions of Betty Boop and have enjoyed them all. They are a classic glimpse of the past.

Egg Tempera Shell and Sand: 4" x 4" Vicini

I went back to one of my favorite mediums - egg tempera. This painting incorporates several different techniques that really are not visible in this photo. I used the egg tempera for the texture, oil and impasto for the shell. I painted in egg tempera for years before putting it aside for more forgiving medium of oil. I admired the work of Andrew Wyeth and Robert Vickrey. I guess I am old school at heart.

I painted several of these types of paintings which I hope to display in the coming days.

Well, it actually happened. A bozo like me was given an opportunity from a Gallery owner who believed in me and who stayed with me even in tough times. Elliott Fouts, the owner of Elliott Fouts Gallery, hung my show this weekend and it is now open. The opening reception is February 14th.

Elliott was kind enough to take a couple of pictures of the Gallery (as you can see). I have another one that I will post tomorrow and I hope to have more from the opening.

I want to thank everyone who has written to me and who has wished me the best. I really appreciate all your emails and support.
