"Forgotten"

 This is a painting that I actually started 7 years ago. I thought I had finished it but it never felt right. Then a couple of months ago I was looking at it with Catherine and she just mentioned that it looked a little heavy. Voila'!!!! I knew what had to happen. I took out the entire background and and started it over and suddenly it all fell into proper perspective. Sooo I have decided to call it finished in 2010 so it is part of my present work. I hope you enjoy

"Flurries"

We had a bit of snow this winter. One morning in February, in the midst of snow flurries, I was on my way into town headed south on Mangum St. As I crossed the Downtown Loop I happened to look up and saw the Spire of the Trinity United Methodist Church. Snow was caught in the cracks of the spire. I was totally captivated by the sky, the movement the mass the power. In this painting I strive to capture that emotion of nature as this piece of metal and stone stand as a monument.

"Beyu' Morning"

One early morning in January of 2010 I left the Beyu' Caffe with a steaming cup of coffee in my hand, happy to be downtown in my beautiful city of Durham. I sat the coffee on the roof of my car so I could unlock the car door and happened to turn around and saw this image of Chapel Hill St. reflected in the windows of the Caffe. That image awakened my need to paint that had been dormant for nearly 7 years. In a way this painting represents a rebirth for me. A new vision. For that I will forever be thankful.

Duke Garden series #1 "The Cafe"

This is the first painting of my Duke Garden series. The Cafe is tucked away in a corner near the Wisteria covered Gazebo. During the cool mornings of Autumn the aroma of fresh coffee beckons you to stop.
