Cat at Rest

After reading a book and drinking a glass of wine, sometimes one needs a nap. And I was going to take one until Oliver the cat kicked me off the sofa. He hadn't read a book or drank any wine, but I guess watching the birds fly outside the window can be almost as tiresome. This painting is 8" w x 10" h. SOLD

Salt Shaker II

This is an oil painting of an old "Little Dutch Boy" salt & pepper shaker. My goal was to produce an image of this figure using colors similar to those of the Dutch and Flemish painters of the 16th & 17th century, my favorite painters. It is 3" w x 5" h. No longer available.

Rainy Day at Chateau Frontenac

The setting for this painting is at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, Canada. It was a rainy day. The dark clouds and the views into the busy cafes and restaurants added coziness. I had to have several cafe lattes that day to keep warm. This painting is 8" w x 10" h. SOLD

Salt Shaker

This is an oil painting of an old "Little Dutch Girl" salt & pepper shaker. My goal was to produce an image of this figure using colors similar to those of the Dutch and Flemish painters of the 16th & 17th century, my favorite painters. Her mate is soon to follow. It is 3" wide by 5" high. SOLD

Before Dinner

This was inspired by the same restaurant as the painting in my last blog entry. The waiter placed items from a table onto a chair to prepare the table for the next dinner party. It is 8" w x 10" h. SOLD

Before Dinner

The painting was inspired by the interior of a restaurant in Quebec City, Canada. I vacationed there (and gathered subject matter) in May. This was the perfect cafe...it smelled like a combination of candles, wine, and the age that builds in old structures over time. It was dimly illuminated with candlelight, chandeliers and the light from the window. The place added warmth to an otherwise cold and rainy day.SOLD

Nightstand and Lamp
