Toaster and Oranges

Surprise ! A toaster still life .

These simple elements ; fruit ( or vegetables ) and reflective surfaces are  compelling subjects that I enjoy revisiting.  They are painted from life, as a landscape plein air painter will do.  I think of these still lifes as plein air of the kitchen,

Gym Figure # 1 (Lisa )

This is the first of a series of small paintings of figures at the gym. I like painting figures while engaged in their activity, not posed portraits. This interest began in 1987 when I painted the carpenters who built my house, and has continued intermittently since.
