Still Life
Original oil paintings, using the still life setup to create a mood, an atmosphere. Many are painted in my yard, using the purple door of the garden sheed as a background. The flowers from my garden often include the wild vines and plants popping up almost overnight.

In the winter months, still life setups take over my studio. I use them to tell a story or to ask a question in the painting. The still-life objects are ones that I have painted over and over during the years, familiar objects that I grew up with. The addition of fresh flowers and fruit give life.

Classic Still Life Oil Paintings created while living and working in the historic Fenway studios, Boston, MA. Fenway Studios were conceived and built in 1905 for artists, modeled on 19th century Parisian ateliers with 14' ceilings and large north light windows.
