Heinz Cocktail Sauce

This painting was one of my favorites. I just love the warm tones and rich red color in the cocktail sauce bottle. I guess I can't seem to escape my fascination with these still lifes.

Three Danish Pastry Still Life

I couldn't pass up painting these three danish pastries. This composition - which extends to the sides, is a contemporary still life that depicts a rather interesting design - if you like pastries. The painting utilizes a rather free and in places impasto type painting technique to create an expressive style.

Tomato - Olives and Family Still Life

This composition fills every corner of panel. I painted this still life arrangement using thin transparent layers of color and built up the tonal quality to create a rather intense and almost hyper real image. The tomato slices steal the show!

This painting is a rather interesting composition of a red 1957 Chevy. The angle is taken from ground level and is dramatically highlighted by the dark imposing sky - which is a painting within a painting.

This painting of a wine cork screw uses the realism of reflection and chrome to create the realism of the subject matter. I have always enjoyed painting chrome and here is no exception.
