Key West Corner

9 x 12'  Acrylic on Canvas

Daily Paintworks  $75

This study of sunlight and shade is from a street in Southern Florida. I traveled there with   The Virtual Paintout - a website that invites artists to draw and paint from the Google Street View.  After Hurricane Irma swept through the southern part of Florida, it seemed like a good idea to revisit the are to see it in pre-hurricane shape.  I found this dark and shady corner, and saw the possibilities for a goood painting. You can see this street corner yourself by clicking here.

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas, it can be framed, but it can also behung up just as it is.

The Daily Paintworks blog, Daily Paintworks News is promoting my work on their "Spotlight Artists" feature. It is an honor and I am grateful.

The Daily Paintworks is an online gallery and art auction site, and their blog gives a more in-depth profile of selected artists. There is an interview with me, and a selection of my paintings for viewers to enjoy. If you have purchased a painting from them in the last thirty days, you are eligible to enter a drawing to win "Painted Roses," above. It is a way for them to say thank you to the art buyers supporting them, and I am happy to participate. I certainly feel supported by them and I am pleased to be part of this promotion. "Painted Roses" has always been a favorite work of mine, and I hope it will also be loved by whoever wins it. So thank you Sophie, and thank you Daily Paintworks for our continued partnership.

The Sunflowers' Song

14 x 11" Oil on canvas

It seems like every picture of sunflowers has its own story - you could call it a song. Some are happy and full of hope, others express the power of beauty, while others might convey a feeling of poignancy. No matter how you think about them, they seem to symbolize great emotion. Rarely are sunflowers depicted as “just flowers.” While I feel differently about sunflowers at different times, they always attract me - to grow, to display, and to paint. What these sunflowers sing to me is a song with a little of everything in it. A happy melodic tune that ascends to sweet, high notes, but then turns down to catch some minor chords, reminding me that in so much beauty, there is often a hint of sadness. But perhaps that’s just me. I hope you find a worthy tune that plays in your head when you look at this painting.
