SOME FORAYS from around 2009 or so

I Close My Eyes After the Treadmill
This is an after-image painting.
(40" x 30")



















Exactly what did you mean by that?
(Pigeon on the skylight)
(36" x 24")












Vermont as a Suitcase
Okay, I probably went a little too devious here.
It's a sideways map shape of the state of Vermont with little icons of barns, silos, churches and barns on it.  Wanted it to look like Vuitton luggage.
(30" x 24")


LAKE WHITINGHAM, VERMONT paintings of yore...

Lake Whitingham II (circa 2005, 48" x 30")
with my brothers and sister-in-law Carina.
Here is a link to this southern Vermont town's website...Vermont rocks!

Lake I (with my brother John, invisible under the rigging that he was trying to set up...)
(circa 1999, 40" x 30")
Lake Whitingham, near Wilmington Vermont.  When I was 10, my parents rented a house for a month in nearby Jacksonville for two summers in a row.  We would go to the lake and picnic and swim (and sometimes canoe) for hours.  So started my lake obsession.

Lake Whitingham III (with Alex and a large black dog)
(probably started about 2001, finished(?) 2012,
20" x 16")

When I first moved to California, I painted about a picture a year...

Melrose Ave. (originally 20" x 16") This painting now only exists in 1's and 0's - termites were eating the stretchers, so we had to part ways. 




Storefronts on Heliotrope  (circa 1990, 24" x 30")

[I'd gone to Highland Grounds, had a couple of cups of coffee, thinking, "oh, great, I don't have to drink alcohol, I'll just have some joe,"  Several hours later, 4:30 in the morning, having not slept a wink, I got up and painted this in a hot frenzy.  This is a kind of farewell painting to my old storefront; priced out after trendiness (can you say "Cafe Mambo"?) raised the rent too high.] 


I'm Lying Down (30" x 24")





Jacarandas and Hollywood Hills  (30" x 24")

[This is on a street north of Beverly Boulevard - Fuller or Sierra Bonita,  perhaps.]
Joshua Tree (46" x 28")
     We hiked to the top in the blazing heat.
