It's Story Time IV

This is a relatively smaller piece, almost like an experiment to compose the books on a square canvas. I think with the right lines it works.

Five Bartlett Pears II

Autumn. Technically it is still summer, but I'm thrilled autumn is so near. Over the past week I've begun setting up ambitious plans for paintings during the next several months. I already have several in the works. I'm looking forward to the results.

Story Time III

24" x 16" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

I have been painting books for some time and find it interesting how constantly pursuing a subject means you discover different ways and different reasons to paint. My advice to any painter would be to find a subject, stick with it and grow with it.

I'm heading out for one last summer adventure that will last a week. After that it's back to reality and back to full-time painting. I'm actually looking forward to it.
