Discussion Group

I've always liked this one; the composition and the fact that it presents a little different view of windsurfers- not the usual image. 16 X20 oil on canvas SOLD

Derelict

I encountered this old home while driving through rural Oregon. I was attracted to the graphic image produced by the weathered surfaces and the exposed structure. Unanswered is the question of why someone invested in a new metal roof when the house was in this condition. Also, I've been experimenting with leaving some of the colored priming show through. This can be seen most clearly in the sky and roof. oil on canvas 11 X 14 $300 unframed

Under the Lyseloma

This 9 X 12 nude was shown and sold at the UNCLAD 2010 show held at the Gallery by the Bay in Washington. Another day I'll post the other one that sold.
