Nothing says “I love you” like red roses. The bold reds and pinks in this painting symbolizes love, beauty, courage, respect, and romantic love.

Perfume Bottles

Acrylic on canvas paper
9" x 12"
$150

Women (and men) love perfumes so much that there is a whole industry dedicated to it. It is not just the scent but how it is marketed and presented to the consumer. The beautiful bottles that hold the liquid are so sparkling and mesmerizing that i don't want to throw away the used bottles.This painting is inspired by the bottles in my closet and a new tube of gold Liquitex Paint marker.

Butterfly attraction

acrylic on panel
12" x16"
$350

This painting is inspired by the beautiful butterfly bushes that are everywhere in the garden at the Whistler House Museum http://www.whistlerhouse.org/. The painting is in an abstract contemperory style with complementary purple and yellow playing off each other, it is about creating an outdoor garden mood set in a pleasing composition.
The butterfly bushes are significant because the artist, James McNeill Whistler's "monogram 'J.W.' was developed into a 'butterfly' signature in c.1869 and gradually evolved over the next thirty years, acquiring antennae, veins and a tail."http://www.whistler.arts.gla.ac.uk/miscellany/butterflies/

This is one of the paintings i did at Steve's workshop. I am very happy with the contemperory colors and the composition and brushwork.
