A Nice Old Couple

7"hx5"w, oil on canvas, interior
This old couple was in the bathroom of the bed & breakfast we visited in Ocean City New Jersey. I often think the older fixtures had more style than the new ones. SOLD.

DINING ROOM

Another lamp in another window of the same Toronto restaurant that inspired the "Luminary" painting in July. It was the perfect day to finish this piece because it was dreary and rainy outside, and it would have been nice to go lunch in a restaurant like the one in the painting. I can't complain about the weather though, I just escaped the floods in the southeast United States. I just returned from a trip to Asheville, Savannah and Charleston. I was disappointed that the Biltmore Estate prohibits photography, even sketching!!! All I could do was take notes on the color schemes of the rooms that I liked. I wished that the Torchwood contact lenses existed in real life (from this year's five episode season) and that I had a pair. This oil is 16" w x 20" h. This is for sale at Emphasis Interiors in Pittsburgh, PA. SOLD

On Guard

This museum guard spends his days guarding oil paintings, but probably did not suspect that he would end up in a painting (and also probably wondered why the heck I was taking his picture). This oil painting is on 6" w x 12" h x 1" thick canvas. SOLD.

Luminary

The lady in the window is a luminaire, and is the luminary of this painting. When it is cold outside in Toronto, the extravagant light fixture entices people to enter the cozy restaurant and have some bouillabaisse and a Merlot. From outside it appears to be a French bistro, but it is actually part of a very large, cafeteria style restaurant that serves any kind of food a person could want. SOLD.

Noon at the Plaza

This is noon at the Plaza in NYC during a fire drill. This lone customer was served before the alarms went off and others, like myself, were not allowed to enter for a drink. This painting is 18" x 24" oil on canvas. It is for sale at www.artquiver.com. SOLD.

Cat's Eye View

This is how this dining room probably looks from the cat's perspective, when he is not capsized on the floor. This oil painting is on 6" x 8" canvas panel. SOLD.

Sunny Dining Room

This sunny dining room includes a cat, a candelabra and something happy to look at on a cold, yucky day like today was. It is 8" h x 10" w, oil on canvas board and is for sale on Ebay. SOLD.

Room Service, Please

This bedroom is badly in need of room service. Even so, at least the morning sunlight bouncing off the walls creates a peaceful effect. The oil painting is on 8" w x 10" h stretched canvas. SOLD.

Foyer

This is a foyer of a restaurant in Quebec City, Canada. It is 12" w x 16" h. SOLD.

Ready for the Day

This interior is 12" x 12" unframed. The scene is at a bed & breakfast at Ocean City, New Jersey. The owners made fabulous breakfasts every day... very unusual in a world where breakfast is sometimes plastic wrapped crackers with cheese made in a laboratory. We had apple pancakes and omelets with portobello mushrooms, among other treats. SOLD

Red Foyer

This is an oil painting on canvas board. It is 12" w x 16" h. It is of a foyer at a bed and breakfast in Quebec City, Canada. SOLD

Favorite Seat

This is Oliver the cat's new favorite seat. It used to be my favorite place to sit, but I was exiled. The oil painting is 8" x 10". SOLD.

Asleep on a Red Chair

This painting is oil on stretched canvas, 8" h x 10" w. SOLD

Interior with Table and Chairs

This painting is 8" w x 10"h and is unframed. SOLD

Bottles and Books

The bottle and wineglass reflect in the mirror, alluding to an abundance of wine! The window, provides the source of light and reflects on the bottle and glass, which creates their forms. The books are on the shelf below. Few things are better than a relaxing glass of Cabernet after reading a good story. This is available at www.theartistshand.org. SOLD.

Interior With A Chaise Lounge

Guess where I obtained the subject matter for this one...Quebec City of course! It has been a very inspirational city for my paintings this year. I may have to go back next year for more subject matter. This painting is 8" h x 10" w. Not for Sale.

Interior With Two Chairs

This was inspired by a photo that I took at a bed & breakfast in Quebec City this past May. The afternoon light bounced from the walls to illuminate the room. It is 8" w x 16" h and includes a 2 1/2" wide carved gold frame. It will be at the International Images Gallery in Sewickley, PA for the biannual gallery walk beginning on September 12, 2008. SOLD

Cafe Interior

This painting is based on a photo that I took at a cafe in Quebec City in May. The couple at the table in the corner reads the newspaper after a late lunch. It seems like many people linger over their meals there, which is how it should be. This painting is 16" w x 20"h. SOLD.

After a Long Day

After a long day, I sometimes like to imbibe...red wine is my favorite. This gentleman in a long coat is either going to have a seat with a glass of Cabernet after dealing with the cold weather outside, or he is getting ready to go out for a stroll...you decide. The painting is 12" w x 16" h.

Reading on a Chaise

I haven't had any "daily paintings" for about a week, yet I have been painting every day for hours and hours getting ready for autumn art events. This oil painting is 18" h x 24" w. SOLD
