LIBERTAD (LIBERTY)

Hello to all -- here is my latest oil painting done on canvas which can be hung with or without a frame. These two horses cavorting in the surf take me back to a time when I was horse-crazy in my youth when I would draw horses unendingly with all the passion I had for these lovely creatures. It's a feeling I've never quite departed from.

This measures 40 x 24 inches. Anyone interested in purchasing can contact me here. $250.00 + shipping.

REGATTA

Hello ... I recently worked on this project for a client who requested a painting of a regatta ... he had a photo and wanted it converted to an oil painting for his new home, still in construction. So I worked studiously every day for 5-6 hours amidst all the workers, noise (buzz saws!) and flying debris (dust galore!), sometimes on a scaffold to reach the higher aspects, and completed the entire project within 8 days. Not bad.

These photos show the work in it's entirety, a shot with me in it (in my grubby painting garb) to show the scale of the work, and some detail shots for a closer inspection.

CALLA LILY WHITES

Finally! -- a new painting. Calla lilies abound here in this humid tropic zone and they are often the subjects of painters both Mexican and otherwise. Here's my version; they just lept out at me from a somewhat dense and dark background as I walked a jungle path a while back, begging to be painted!


This is acrylic on canvas measuring 24 x 38.5 inches. Anyone interested in purchasing this painting please contact me here.

CHARRAS - SOLD

August is growing to a close but September will continue to swelter by the feel of things. We're in the midst of hurricane season and so far so good, not one of them has touched land yet.

I've immersed myself in this triple panel acrylic painting of four Mexican Charras (rodeo riders) putting their horses through their paces. Their costumes seem terribly cumbersome but provide a flash of vivid color as they stream past in a cloud of thundering hooves and dust.

I enjoyed this project although it took me a while to get it right ... I must have worked the background over at least three times before settling on the current combination of hues and texture.

This measures approx. 54 x 36 inches including all three panels, quite large actually with impact. Anyone interested in purchasing please contact me here. On to the next ... will post again soon. Cheers, E.

HIBISCUS

Hello -- this year we're having a bonafide rainy season and everything has become quite lush. The itch to paint becomes intensified by the lure of vivid flowers all around. These hibiscus blooms poke their heads through the palm stalks seeking their share of the sun, offering themselves up, opening fully to bask in the summer warmth. I'm especially intrigued by the veiny detail of the soft petals ... they are strikingly bold while retaining their delicacy.

This is a large acrylic measuring approx. 31 x 43 inches. Anyone interested in purchase can contact me here. $300 U.S. + shipping.

FLAMINGO GROVE

Hello, it's been a while as life has kept me away from the canvas for a bit, but finally here's my latest painting endeavor, a group of flamingos doing their thing in a sun drenched grove. I photographed these graceful birds in a man-made setting at X-Caret eco-park and the plants in the foreground weren't part of the original photo but I thought they might add a little punch to the scene.

This is acrylic on wrap-around canvas measuring 17.5 x 13.5 inches and l.5 inches deep. Anyone interested in purchasing please contact me here. $250.00 U.S. + shipping.

TWO BLONDES

Hello, here's a painting in acrylic I created for an animal portrait poster showing the inclusion of the "human element", precisely... me! Okay, admittedly I took the liberty of painting a few years off of myself, but what the heck...!

If you'd like a portrait of your pet with or without you (or another family member perhaps) please contact me here. I'm reasonable about pricing and a portion of the proceeds will go to the (much needed) dog shelter here.
