Chaos at the Head Table
42 x 42 • Oil on Canvas
Price: $4,000 SOLD
When doing studies of heads painted in a ‘chiaroscuro-style lighting, I found Carravagio and Gentileschi’s heads were the best examples. I painted their heads only, but decided to add my own invented bodies to these heads around a table with chaotic activity everywhere.
The Book Club
48 x 48 • Oil on Canvas
Price: NFS
A painting of my wife’s book club friends. The scene was invented but the friends are not. Club members posed while being drawn as long long as I supplied the wine.

The frustration of watching our elected officials spend more time fighting than actually joining others of varied opinions to hammer out meaningful legislation..
Famous Women of Canvas

This is a study of the many women that became famous as a result of being painted. Once assembled, I gave them all a glass of wine so there was a shared purpose.
