One of my new paintings

Unfortunately I am short on time but wanted to post something for the weekend. This is one of my latest and is currently on display (along with 16 other paintings) at The CSI Group in Paramus, NJ. This is part of the Alzheimer's series dedicated to my Grandmother who is currently suffering from the disease. Hope you enjoy!

The Creative Process...

Thought I would give you a glimpse into my creative process. There are so many stages and layers of paint in my paintings-some pieces more than others. This particular painting had many! You can see for yourself how different the two images are. The overall layout is similar, but once I gave the different areas of the painting more definition and color, the piece took on a completely different feeling. I am really happy with the way this one came out. What do you think? I would love to hear your feedback!

Clothing Line

For those of you who are not aware, I am starting a clothing line based on tattoo-inspired designs. I decided to do a separate line of clothing with images of my paintings on them. I thought that the new series of nudes I did would look great on a shirt. This attatched image "On The Prowl" happens to be my favorite of the 4 that I have so far. If anyone would like to see other images of my paintings on clothing I would appreciate the feedback. (and I would be more than happy to do custom orders) These products can be ordered via email at this time and I will ship the products directly to you. Thanks to everyone for your support.

"Cayuga"

Last fall I visited the Finger Lakes in NY and I went on a wine tour on Cayuga Lake. It was a great experience not only because of all the wine tasting (which was definitely a highlight), but also because of the beautiful fall scenery. When I returned from the trip I started this painting right away. Although I was physically home my mind was still at the Finger Lakes. The intense colors of the foliage and the beautiful view of the lake were stuck in my head. I could still taste that wine too, in fact some of the wines from Cayuga Lake were the best I've ever had. I feel that the whole experience was translating itself from my mind to the canvas. Still, when I look at this painting I am transported back to that trip to the Finger Lakes. I hope you enjoy this one!
