A painter gets very thirsty, and at times hungry,
a painter will then peel a mandarin
rest it on the painter's box
and paint it.

Good for digestion ... good for the stomach
good for so many things that ail you
good looking too
round like a stomach
long tentacles resembling the intestines perhaps

A mandarin, another mandarin, how
clever, a food source that you can
peel the wrapping off and eat,
and simply enjoy the juice
without packaging and hoopla
no straws, no words, just pull off tree and eat.

Custard Apple No4

oil on canvas / 8" x 8"
1 1/2" wrapped canvas frame

SOLD
There is something sculptural and warm and loving
about a Custard Apple
They look like Gods Little Sculptures that
he made on a lazy Saturday afternoon
when all was said and done.
With great joy and abandonment
the custard apple
so needs to be painted.

They are as splendid and friendly
as a big bunch of flowers

They change shape overnight ... literally.

Olive Oil, Bread, Lemon and Two Olives


oil on canvas / 1 2 x 24"
SOLD

The challenge here was reproducing the gold alfoil on the bottle.
Finding the right yellows and combinations of warm
and cool colors, create the perception of fine creases,
and retaining a brushy finish. I don't wish to end up with
a photographic realist painting, just a realistic painted finish.

Two Sweet Potatoes ...in a field

Two Sweet Potatoes ...in a field
oil on canvas / 12 x 16"
SOLD


What is it about the humble sweet potato that says,
"don't paint me,
I'm an ugly old thing that lives under the ground.
I taste sweet,
I actually look great,
if you take the time to see beyond
my dirty face and my bumpy body.
I'm so sweet and bright on the inside,
but don't paint me that would be just too kind.

Perhaps you could find another one
as lonely as I am and we could be painted together ..."
