Bottles-III

Another oil painting on canvas.

This set of three bottle paintings were part of my large one-person show at the Hoxie Gallery in Westerly, Rhode Island during the month of April 2008.

I had 140 paintings on display and I don't feel that I ever want to do a show that large again.

It was a good show though having produced 9 sales.

Bottles II

I collect bottles and jugs because of the variety of shapes and colors.

When I say I 'collect' I am not exagerating. I have boxes and boxes of bottles in storage in my basement that I intent to paint and photograph.

This and the previous painting are oil on canvas.

Bottles

Just had a pleasant experience at a new vineyard and winery that recently opened about a mile from where I live so I felt it appropriate to put a few of my paintings of bottles onto the Blog.

The owner of MAUGLE SIERRA VINEYARDS, Paul Maugle, gave my wife and I a tour of the spectacular grounds and 'tasting room'.

The wines are far from the usual and are outstanding.

When we travel we always stop at art galleries and wineries because I paint and my wife conducted tours and 'tastings' at a winery for a number of years.

If you happen to be in Southeastern Connecticut this is one stop that you must put on your map.

The winnery is located at 827 Route 117 in Ledyard, Connecticut.

Fall Colors

No blending or mixing.

Produces a very vibrant effect.

Oil painting of an old rail fence at "The Fantastic Umbrella Factory" in Charlestown, RI.

Icicles

Typical New England winter day.

Abstract of Brown Still Life

This is my interpretation of the previous painting, Brown Still Life, as an abstract oil painting.

The view is 'flattened' and presented in a somewhat 'cubist style'.

I have used a repetition of form, line and color to achieve the unity that I feel is necessary in an abstract painting.

Brown Still Life

An oil painting using burnt sienna, white and black.

Blue Crab

Whimsical little oil painting on a piece of masonite.

SOLD
