Bosc Pears from Local Farm Market – SOLD
April 29, 2008 — firefly8868
Oil on 1/4″ pure eucalyptus hardboard; 24″ x 28″; Apr 2008.
Two sets of notecards featuring this painting are available for sale online.
This will hang at Zambistro Restaurant in Medina, New York with other paintings I have created for that space. There is something very soothing and comforting about this painting, in both the texture of the paint and the colors I used to create the golden glow of the pears. It almost feels as if I have captured life-giving sunlight particles within the pears themselves. It is also interesting, because even in a dark room the light and shadow of the pears glows. I find myself gazing at my own painting, and I am not entirely certain I am willing to sell this one. I will entertain offers, but am not going to put a price on it just yet.

Barnum’s Glowing Pear Returns
February 21, 2008 — firefly886820″ x 26″; Oil on 1/4″ pure eucalyptus hardboard; $350
Available for purchase
This is another of the new paintings hanging at Zambistro Restaurant. I have painted this pear before, as a small 6″ x 8″ “postcard” size painting. However, this new one is 20″ x 26″ so was a much different painting experience. I will be creating two more large paintings of pears for the restaurant, and then I will move on the some other subjects.
If you are in the area, definitely stop at Zambistro’s for a scrumptious meal prepared by the exciting and talented young chef/owner, Michael Zambito. Of course my art will be there to please your eye, but mostly I urge you to try the food and the atmosphere because both are superb.

Frozen Berries
October 5, 2007 — firefly8868
SOLD
Last winter we had an ice storm following several days of snow. As a result, branches, berries, pine cones, etc. became encased in ice which created some very interesting visual effects against the white of the snow. Being new to New York, and having lived in Los Angeles most of my life, seeing these berries wrapped up and isolated in ice was a new experience.
I wanted to see if I could capture the look of the berries in ice, and was very happy with the results. I working this painting wet on wet, with lots of texture. It was enjoyable and exciting to work in this very loose style.
The painting is 6″ x 8″ on 1/4″ pure eucalyptus hardboard, prepped with two coats of acrylic gesso.

Series of family portraits in watercolor
September 24, 2007 — firefly8868
While I was still living in Los Angeles, a couple commissioned me to create a series of portraits of various family members. First, there was a portrait painted from the grandparent’s wedding photo, which was presented to the grandparents as an anniversary gift.
Then, separate portraits of the couple’s three sons.
These paintings are all watercolors on 140 lb. Arches cold press watercolor paper ranging in size from 20″ x 28″ to 15″ x 18″. All were completed in 2004.
