Barbizon Fantasy
From the Barbizon district in France, comes the artistic school of the Barbizon's. This is a joke since it is a surrealistic fantasy, a two-headed "classic" horse-like figure. This sculpture measures 8.5" x 6.25" x 9.25" and is mounted to a polished base.

California Bird Series: Evening Plumage
A part of the California Bird Series. This picture is evening plumage. Dandy, preening and all around something else. This bird is really something!
Pursuit
Pursuit is a sometimes necessary part of the game of romance. In my imagination we all have antennae-like receptors at the top of our heads that jangle with excitement when they are stimulated. In this picture the young man pursues the young lady, audibly trying to attract her attention.
Melodramatic Landscape: The Art of Knowing

Early-on Towards Oneness (oil on canvas)
Sold out
Oil on Canvas - 48” X 40”
A young couple in love attempts to be as crushingly close to each other as they can. They become a single unit. The flowers are in bloom and every thing around them is wonderful . Thus, Early-on Towards Oneness.
Feminine Mystique: Oil Stains on Unprimed Canvas
This picture is painted on unprimed canvas. That means it drinks-in more color and paint than primed canvas. When I was a sophomore in college, I took great pleasure in observing the rapid maturity of freshman women as they transitioned from being unwise and unsophisticated young girls to becoming wiser and more sophisticated young women in the course of one or two semesters. Thus, painting this canvas reminded me of that phenomenon.
The Dancer
The dancer is free, floating and abstract. Her fluidity is characteristic of her freedom.
Hollywood Cool
Los Angeles is the home of Hollywood. "Hollywood Cool" is a picture of the Hollywood mogul (think of Michael Ozitz in his heyday) who is spawning stars and starlets, is himself on a precipice and yet manages to bedazzle all around him. A bit of a dandy, powerful and self-assured. This is an abstraction of an actual person.
Keeping My Head Above the Water
During the worst economic times, and trying to survive as an artist, it was hard to keep my head above the water. This is my abstraction of that feeling.
California People (framed)
Oil on Canvas - 50” X 34”. Framed.
Multiculturalism is a theme I come back to often. I believe that it is a force and influence within California, that makes our life more enriched and different from many other parts of American society. "Light", "freedom" and "multiculturalism" are three major influences in my art and my life. Here "California People" demonstrates all three in one image.
