Nothing Overlooked; Oil on Linen; 36″x48″
Welcome to my world.
Through my long career as a painter, a sense of place or interesting light on interesting objects was enough for me to decide to choose a subject.
Making paintings that represent the real world has engaged me from the beginning of my creative journey. Realism is not about reporting. It is about creating a believable fiction, which tells a story and engages the viewer.
Most of my paintings are oil on linen, although I do paint on other surfaces, such as paper and gessoed panels. Oil paint has tremendous depth and luminosity, which particularly suits my subject matter. Last year I went to Italy to study egg tempera with Fred Wessel, a modern master of the medium. Since then I have been combining egg tempera and oils in the same painting.

Your work is amazing! I really like Limone #2. The crinkles in the paper are so real. The fruit good enough to eat. You do drapery extremely well–something in my dabbling I just can’t seem to get the hang of. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Gail
Limone #2 is one of my faves as well. I painted it in a real etruscan basement in Cortona a few years ago. I really love working in Egg tempera. Cloth and crinkled paper are among my favorite things to work on.
I absolutely love these. The colors and depth do it for me.
Thank you so much. Color iand light are definitely my “things”
