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.

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.

Two figures mirror each other as they recline on a grassy quad. Above and to the side, behind the figures, the landscape continues with trees, shrubs, and geometric shapes which suggest buildings. It’s a very quiet campus. Framed in a light colored wood.

A single female figure, seen from the back, seated on a sandbank, overlooking a body of water is the subject of this small painting. The figure, placed left of center turns towards the light; opposing this, the head looks
right into darkness and empty space. This natural contraposto brings with it a history of references to Western art. Framed in a light colored wood.
