is a display of some of my oil paintings and drawings over the last two and a half years.
To view things in the order of their completion start at the bottom and work up. The paintings on the first page were all done in 2011 and all feature skulls. A skull offers the artist a portrait subject, a still life subject and even elements of a landscape--endless fascination.

Ellie in the Garden, 2009

28" x 22"

The garden is outside the studio. Ellie sat inside for this looking into a light box below.



Recently, I was looking at a Caravaggio Bacchus in Rome's Borghese Gallery and recognized the wreath!  I'd seen it before in a book but forgotten about it.
