“Olives, Creamer, Ginger Jar, Pear”
Oil on panel, 18×30 inches
This painting is available, please contact me

I think of myself as a miniaturist.

Sort of.

It’s probably more accurate to say that I think big but paint small – the vast majority of my paintings are under 100 square inches – and many are considerably smaller.

But – now and then, it is good to do things differently, and sometimes I want to work bigger.  

To me it’s sort of like the author who normally writes short stories, but now and then needs to say what they have to say in a novel.

So, this is one of my novels – I’m proud to introduce “Olives, Creamer, Ginger Jar, and Pear” – at 18×30 inches, it is one of the largest still life paintings I have done.

This painting was inspired by the old Spanish still life tradition.  They frequently call their still lifes “Bodegons” – which literally means “pantry” – a nod to the fact that so much still life revolves around the celebration of the simple pleasures of food and drink. 

This painting is available – please contact me for more information.

So – that is the end of the tour, but there is still a LOT of art to see.
