Dragon and Sea Monsters


These are some of the statues in the fountains at Versailles. This painting is 12"h x 16"w. I had so much fun painting it that I plan to do a larger one. I've been working on this over the past few weeks, but decided I had to post it today, as it suits the whole preoccupation with doomsday. Oil on canvas panel. SOLD.

Sleepy Winston

This is my mom's cat, Winston. He wants to take a nap, but he realized the antique, child size chair is a bit too small for him. Oil on 8"h x 6"w stretched linen canvas. For sale at Gallery on 43rd Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. SOLD.


Green Pear and Poinsettia


My labeling of the pears is very unscientific. I forgot to take note of the real names at the grocery store, so I just titled them by color. This is one of the two winter paintings I did this year. I was going to refer to them as Christmas paintings, but really they could be displayed all winter. Oil on 8" x 8" x 1 1/2" stretched canvas.

I named this "Reclining Kitten", but she's almost a year old, so I guess she's more like a teenager. She will always be a kitten to me though. Oil on 6"h x 12"h stretched canvas. SOLD.
