I painted this oil on masonite to experiment with the rough texture.

I have been working with the theme of bread and wine for sometime and I think this painting which came to me like a gift hits close to the mark.

I fine pleasure in appreciating the things of the earth by painting.

I look with amazement at the forms I find in our world and how they relect the mind of their creator.

I am drawing from the shroud of turin as a devotional practice.

I wanted to show bread broken and catching the light.

The coolness of winter's light gives way to the first buds of Spring.

The signature of the universe is in the architecture of a sea shell.

My objective is to intergrate the forms into a composition that inspires me to paint and discover things seen in time.

I am interested in seeing the designs of things made by God through the creation.The broken sea shells reveal the structures within the forms we see.

A one day painting done to capture the light on a cloudy day.

In this painting I was interested in the variations of shapes within the group of grapes and how the other colors are captured in tints as the light passes through.

In my painting I am absorbed by the textures and forms of things as revealed by natural light.

I previously posted this painting but changed the colors in a leaf and decided to post again.

I am trying to show the fullnes of the objects in my painting.
