Blue Serenity
(30" x 20" oil on canvas)

I recently came across a beautiful set of 7 apothecary-style bottles in various shades of soft blue. Their simple shapes and colors have inspired me to work with a subtle palette that bespeaks of balance and serenity. I am unsure how this work will be received by the public who seem to gravitate towards bolder brighter colors, but I'm hoping people will enjoy the “Zen” mood.

Still Life in Red and Green
(24" x 18" oil on canvas)

Often a new prop will spark an entire series of paintings; such is the case with this red jug. I love not only the color but also the clean lines and the rather unusual height to width ratio. A few of my galleries, as well as a good number of collectors, have requested more "red" work, so this jug came along at just the right time.

Blush

Here, one of my favourite vases "blushes" at the beauty of the neighbouring fruit.

Blue Jug on Red
(28" x 20" oil on canvas)

The strawberries this year are almost too beautiful to eat – and I have taken full advantage of the season by paying homage to this year's crop in a few paintings. Here two beautifully strong colors, red and blue, live in harmony against the neutral green background. The large simple shapes support the more complex shapes and textures of the berries.
