"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.

"Bicycle Conversation"
oil on canvas - 8"x 8 "

"As you have seen with my bicycle series, it is the shadows that fascinate me. They stir my imagination; often becoming something of their own. Here is one with the bicycle listening in on a cell phone conversation at the coffee shop.

"Waiting at the Cafe"
oil on canvas - 6"x 8 "
Bicycle Series

"As you have seen with my bicycle series, it is the shadows
that fascinate me. For some reason they stir my imagination;
becoming something of their own.
With the Spring here and summer around the bend, it is certainly
the time to see bikes waiting for their masters to return.

"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."

"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."
