"GRAY SUNDAY"












Here is another of my favorite black & whites. In a lot of the B&W paintings there is a hint of color, for me it is having fun on just how to add an element of shade someplace. The size was 50X40 and yes it's sold.

"MINUS 28"











(Sold)


To work in black & white is much more difficult then color for you can razzle-dazzle the eye with color but, B&W your ether on the mark or your starting over. I feel I nailed this one after re-painting how the snow laid on the mountain. the size is 32X36 price $2,800

"GROUND PATTERNS"















This is an ongoing series of black & whites that I have been painting for the last nine years. I don't know when it strikes me to paint one but I will be posting them.
The two new paintings that will be coming up on my blog I have just completed, one is a spin from a large canvas. I love painting them for they are a challenge. I make my own black colors giving them the depth needed to achieve the tone and mood of a black & white.
Hope you enjoy. size is 32X36 price: $2,800 + s/h

PLANET HOLLYWOOD


This is painted from one of my many photos. It took 5 weeks to complete painting everyday for ten to twelve hours a day. I paint the background white and it is painted like a watercolor so I did not use white for my highlights but pushed the color till it was so then as to give me the glow of reflections I needed. This painting is going on tour for two years in 2008. It is in a privet collection. The size is 38x42
