The wife of fellow painter, David Rich, posed for us one afternoon at David's studio. I particularly liked the aggressive pose, the simple palette of violet and green, and the way the close values of the background allowed the figure to emerge from it with clarity.

Man Reading

Another backyard painting, this time with a man reading in shade. Like the other backyard paintings the result here is a visual puzzle. The chair's arm intersects with the book and forms a focal point around which the various dark shapes radiate. The two-dimensional remains constantly in tension with the three dimensional.
