These paintings are mostly imagery from the Charlottesville VA area. The ideas for my paintings come from watching the people around me. Some compositions start as sketches while others start as photos, but all start from my observations. They are not unique portraits, but rather iconic experiences of our collective existence. The paintings celebrate the liminal places, and the seemingly mundane activities of our lives. They are a gentle nod of appreciation for the historical tradition of genre art, and reflections of my many musings of life as we know it!

DrawingDrawing is a release, a lesson, and an exercise for both the eye and the hand. I try to do as much as I can. I love drawing people. I like the wide variety of shapes and sizes of one particular subject. I like how it involves my observation as well as my hand.. To see my 100 day drawing marathon Categories |
