The following paintings are done in india ink on canvas board. These works are inspired by the sculptural works of masters like Brancusi, Giacometti, and Julio Gonzalez. The latter sculptor I became intimately familiar with through my work as exhibition designer and installer at the USC Fisher Museum of Art. My first show was the installation of works by Gonzalez - the Spanish artist who collaborated (introduced) Picasso to welded metal sculpture.

Figures in Oil
The following were painted using oil sticks on primed luan scraps from a Shakespeare Orange County production I worked on almost 4 years ago. Yes, "scrap" like this travels around with me until someday an idea, then a project, then a finished artwork, materializes.
