Azaleas and Dogwood, 9"x12", Oil

My new painting, April 2016, born today: Azaleas and Dogwood

Mason Jar with Quince

Original oil painting. 10 X 8", oil, for sale, $350

On Display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC

This spring, I recommend that you take in the current shows at The National Portrait Gallery -- featuring a portrait of Kevin Spacey as the President -- and the Impressionism show which features Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, and other American luminaries such as Mary Cassatt. The Impressionism show is on display at the Smithsonian's American Museum of Art, which is next door to the Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC's Penn Quarter.

New Paintings: Miniatures

Here are three of my recent 3" X 3" oil miniatures. They could sit on easels, hang as a group, or become Christmas ornaments with a tied satin ribbon stapled onto their backs.
