Off to School
16" x 24" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD
When I found the "It's Story Time" primary reader at the antique shop near my house, I was hoping there would be another similar book. I had to dig pretty deep through shelves of old smelly books, but eventually I found this "Off to School" from the same series, with a bright blue cover.
I think the limited bright color on the canvas and the way the blue contrasts with the yellowed paper edges of the other old books help the composition. I propped up the old primary reader against the thick, heavy Manual of Psychology. It's an interesting juxtaposition.

Five Pomegranates
16" x 24" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD
I was happy to see pomegranates are in season. And I noticed a few snowmen are starting to appear in stores. Really? Seriously? It's only the end of September. A quick glance at the weather forecast tells me fall is officially here. I guess this means I have to really get to work.

Origin
24" x 18" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD
I just read that this coming November will see the 150th anniversary of Darwin's Origin of Species. I didn't paint this because of that. I honestly didn't pay much attention to all of the books I have here in the studio. Turns out one is a well preserved edition from 1892.
