City Scene


These three tiny paintings were inspired of the San Francisco Area. Two images of the Golden Gate bridge and one of Coit Tower. Because both have so much History to them I wanted an aged look. They started out Black and White and very modern. Just adding some rustic detail and vintage tones brought more depth and meaning to these tiny city treasures.

Fruity Inspirations


These 3 paintings were inspired by fruit. Grape-fruit to be exact. The rich colors, the citrus juice, the texture, the smell. I wanted to try and capture all of that into a set of paintings. I think I am craving a citrus drink from Jamba Juice. Anyone else?
