"Three on the Street"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"
city streets

A typical scene of students on the street near the Ohio State Campus. Larry's is one of the few old hang outs from the late 60's. It was always a place where we hippies went to talk about issues, play chess and have a beer or two.

"The Eyes Have It"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"
contemporary figurative

"I did this one larger, 8x8", to be able to develop the painting
a bit more.
This is a mural on a building in our art district they call the
Short North. It is obviously a quirky take of the famous
"American Gothic". I used to have a gallery just across the
street from this building. I thought it would be fun to use it
for a different idea."

"Above It All"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"While sitting and sketching outside a Ohio State campus cafe,
I noticed a man working on a ladder 3.5 stories high above the
street walkers.
It brought back memories of myself many years ago. It is hard for
me to believe now, that I once painted campus sorority houses that
were often 3 stories high. Now I think I must have been absolutely
insane."

"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."

"Expresso Cafe"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"This piece could be a portrait of me walking into an expresso cafe,
(it isn't me, but could be). I do LOVE a good coffee and also enjoy
sitting in a cafe to sketch or work on my laptop, like I am sure many
of you do too."

"For Rent"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
contemporary figurative

"Today's piece is one of many scenes I see every day on the
street near the Ohio State Campus. I am sure you have you
noticed that nearly everyone you see walking are also talking
on their cell phones. It has become such a part of everyday
life that it is almost rare to see someone without it. "
