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.
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

I've been working on a couple of paintings that encompass some of my wife's pots and pans. I found the texture and composition interesting to paint.

Continuing my interest in kitchen art, I found it interesting this collection of pots and pans.

Felix the Cat !

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.

Three Roses
This is my second Cigar box painting. This Mohawk Cigar box was really cool to paint. Just love to use those vibrant rich tones.
This painting was included in my latest show at the Center Line Gallery exhibition.

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.Oil on wood 7" x 7" Gallery Wrapped.

Still life of roses.

Red rose with Gold Leaf.
Gold Leaf and oil painting. I incorporated an additional twist to my gold leaf painting.
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.
You have to the love the Summer with all the carnivals and fairs that are coming. Fun! We need it.
