Off to the beach - both the bird and me. I'll be there for a week, but the bird will stay on longer. Oil painting on cradled panel, 8 x 6"

Shapes and light from the view - colors from my palette. Fun to mix them up. Acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 12 x 24"

Late afternoon light through a window in my studio created strong shadows. Oil painting on cradled panel, 8 x 6"

I've always tended towards painting in a graphic or design oriented style. More recently I've taken a more representational approach to my painting and I like it, but I think I'll continue painting the graphic ones as well. Here's a painting I had fun with from years past. Oil painting on stretched canvas, 16 x 20"
