Oil, Pastel, and Ink on Canvas
18"x24"

I used a different technique for this one. Normally I like heavy oil and glazing. For this one, I started with thick paint and oil and then went to turpentine washes with oil paint and pastel. I like the illustrative look that I achieved. It's different than my usual fare...whatever that may be.

Do you speak French? Do you have teeth? Are you all neat and tidy?

Composition with Woman and Chair
oil on canvas
40" x 30"

This is an oil painting that I did in 2003 in honor of two of my greatest artistic influences. It is my own composition made from a combination of VanGogh's Chair with Pipe and Picasso's Femme Assise dans un Fauteuil Rouge (Woman in a Red Armchair). I created a collage out of pictures of the two great paintings and then copied the collage onto the canvas. I learned a lot by doing this piece: specifically, I had the opportunity to absorb the techniques of two great artists at the same time.
