Merlot
(24" x 36", oil on canvas)

Over the years, wine bottles and fruit have been done and done again by artists everywhere, and with good reason. They are a lovely subject and one most everyone can easily relate to. Here I approach the subject using a somewhat unorthodox composition implying an "after the party" moment.

One Fig
(16" x 16", oil on canvas)

Figs are like jewels to this painter. Here the complexity of the facets and colors of the single fig are contrasted against the smooth surfaces of the jar and bowl. The seasonal combination of red and green seemed timely for this, the week before Christmas.

Simplicity
(16" x 16", oil on canvas)

The title says it all. Clean, simple lines give this unassuming little composition its " An apple a day..." appeal.

Aqua
(24" x 24", oil on canvas)

This is the third in a series of shell paintings. Here, for contrast, I've paired a spiky shell with a soft blue cloth. As in the first two, I continue to use a book as a pedestal element and stones to echo the sea theme.
