The Letter

SOLD
"The Letter" 5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel,

Male Nude seen from behind reading a letter, I wanted to hide the letter from the viewer to achieve a more intimate/personal mood in the composition leaving more to the imagination of the observer about the letter's content.

Onion and Knife

Strawberry

SOLD
"Strawberry" 5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel,

Auction starts @ 8.45.pm

This is the first piece from a new still life series that I've started, I usually have different ideas about setting up still lives and they change constantly, so you will have an insight as my perception on this subject changes from one to another as I'm experimenting with composition and subject.

Portrait Of A Man

"Portrait of a man" 5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel,

Auction starts @ 8.30.pm

This is the latest portrait from my studio, it's been done in 'alla prima' mode, with very loose brushwork, to emphasize the intensity and spontaneity of the moment better.

Portrait Of A Man

SOLD

"Portrait Of A Man" 5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel,

Auction starts @ 8.30.pm

I had to reshoot the image for this piece since I wasn't really satisfied with the first take, I never really am actually, it's hard to capture the original dimension of the painting, this one represents it much better though.
