Gum Ball Machine


                                                        Painting size 16 x 20

This painting was a lot of fun to paint.  I actually painted it during some of the long winter months.  Whenever I would sit down to work at it it would bring a smile to my face,  This painting allowed me to play around with color.  I tried to float the strong colors around in the chrome as well as the gum balls.

Night Life

                                                              16 x 25
  I'm thinking it would be cool to take up the saxophone. I loved this guys expression and how you almost feel his music.  Think of a warm evening by the water.  The city in this painting is Columbus Ohio. 

The Soul Sings

                                                                19x28                                                                                    Here is another painting in my music series.  Jackie is a very gifted singer and I have enjoyed listening to her make music come alive.  When I took this picture she was actually singing one of my mothers favorite songs.

Anna

     Here is a picture that came about when I found this hat at a shop.  The hat is a vintage hat.  I really liked it and wanted to paint it.  My sister-in-law Anna was willing to model for me.   She did a great job.

Classical sound

                                                                    18x 21 1/2
This painting is another in the music series.  A friend of mine agreed to be the model for this painting.  I loved how the cello, scarf and her hair all worked together.   I enjoyed working the orange color into the scarf.

Natural Melody

Painting size is11.5 x30
This is painting of a friend who plays violin with her family.  Her older sister got married and she had this beautiful celtic dress for the wedding.  I asked her if she would be willing to go out  with me to take some pictures.  She did a wonderful job.  I had so much fun painting her hair and the willow tree that she is sitting in front of.  Hope you enjoy.
