"Wired for Sound"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"Today's painting is a young man with headphones walking past
"Larry's Bar & Grill". A bit of nostalgia for you. This is
probably the oldest hang out near the Ohio State Campus.
I remember going here in the late 60's. It was the place for
artists and cool hippies to sit and talk politics, play chess
and of course have a cold beer."

Self Portrait

"Self Portrait"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"Yep, a self portrait. Actually,I haven't done a self portrait since
the early 70's. So,this is me standing at a local coffee shop. Do we
want to get philosophical about it? Oh, why not. In this world today,
talking to people around the world through the internet, making friends
in distant places and all the time never actually seeing the real person...
I create my paintings, put them online and I say to myself, it is the
work that really matters."

"There is an area near downtown that is the location of large
indoor market and many little grills and restaurants. A lot of
people who work downtown will often frequent these places at lunchtime.
This painting is on one of the back streets that has access to
one of the grills. I really like the view of color and reflections
of the city in the windows.On this day I grabbed a bite of lunch
at the market, sat outside and did a little sketching."

"On one of my art outings, I happened to find this guy standing
under a sign for a local pet store. He stood there for a long time
grooming his little goatee. I thought his heart tattoo added to his
"pet" character. To me it was just one of those funny moments."
