A Tourist in Venice


I painted this from a photo my mother took of me on our first day in Venice in 2007. I normally paint from my own photos, but occasionally my mom and I share photos, especially if we were travelling together and/or I am running out of subject matter. The photo I painted from was taken on our first morning in Venice. I wanted to capture the canals, the shadows of the alley and the red buildings, but he painting definitely needed a person in the lower left quadrant. I was already in the photo, so I just included myself in the painting. This is how I normally look while travelling... holding a camera, not smiling or taking selfies. I really don't have many pictures of myself on trips unless my mom goes with me. Oil on 11"h x 14"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Venetian Tour


It is rush hour, and the gondolas travel single file in the narrow canals. Even with a lot of other boats in the water, not many things are more romantic than a Venetian canal tour. Oil on 28"h x 22"w x 1 1/2"d stretched canvas. SOLD.

Springtime in Amsterdam


I saw this view over one of the bridges on the way to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It was tricky getting photos while avoiding speeding bicycles. Oil on 10"h x 8"w stretched linen. This is one of thirteen paintings I just shipped to the Affordable Art Fair in New York. The fair runs April 3 - 6. If you are in the area, my work will be in the Ugallery booth! SOLD.
