A note regarding the Tapestries of Nature Series-
I will be painting quite a few of these large, bold acrylics this year as I explore this particular approach. While my normal working size and shape in this style is a 30" by 30" square canvas, I am open to doing smaller or larger pieces, as well as horizontal or vertical rectangular canvases, on commission in order
to better fit specific display situations. If you are contemplating the purchase of a number of pieces as a collection, contact me for special quantity pricing.
I find that this style and medium lets me give full attention to capturing both the subtleties and the dynamism of color and light in nature. Infusing areas with small, intense dots and splashes of more intense color gives a satisfying richness that softly blended color often seems to lack. While not strictly pointilistic, this approach does make use of the same principles as that impressionistic method of painting. |

The Bend in the Road
Acrylic on canvas 30" by 30" 2008
SOLD
The third in a series of landscape explorations done in a new medium and textural
approach, which I call Tapestries of Nature. Using acrylics, and applying the paint with a wide variety
of tools, allows an impressionistic capturing of light and texture that is quite different from my usual
softer approach in oils. Each has its place, depending on the elements of the scene that most catch my eye.
This series is painted on stretched canvas, and the standard frame is a beautifully finished narrow
walnut floater frame.

Cats in a Row
Oil on canvas panel 12" by 16", 2007
SOLD
Do you have a business with a budget for office decorating? Why not consider buying original art instead of reproductions to enhance your public spaces and executive offices? Because of the high cost of properly framing reproductions behind glass, you will find that my original oils and acrylics are often not much more expensive, and you will be investing in something with more intrinsic long-term value.

Navajo Girl With a Silver Earring
Oil on canvas panel 20" by 16", 2006
SOLD
Believe it or not, the similarities between this piece and Vermeer's "Girl With a
Pearl Earring" never occured to me as I photographed Michelle or even as I began
sketching out the piece on the canvas. It took my wife mentioning it to make me look
up an image of that famous painting before I saw the striking parallels. When I did, my
mouth nearly fell open. The pose, the look on her face, headcovering, and even the
prominent piece of jewelry in her ear, evrything was there. Some things are just meant to
happen, so I finished the piece as I had originally intended it.
Interested in discussing a portrait commission? A commissioned portrait of this
size (20" by 16") typically runs between $1000 and $1400, framed.
