signature collection

Home From the Circus
--- 36x36 oil on board - Inspired by the novel "The Electric Michelagelo" by Sarah Hall.
Red Doors Amsterdam
--- 12x16 oil on board - When this building was built, about 600 years ago, it was a warehouse. There was no glass behind the red doors, they were used to load and unload freight. I actually witnessed the woman with red umbrella come out of the building and ride away. Truly inspiring.

NOTE: Some paintings include sculptural metal frames as an integral part of the artwork.
