'Pipe von Rijn' Acrylic painting on canvas, 8" x 10" (SOLD)
Rembrandt's pipe was a joy to paint.
The sweetness of the "Old Master's" style, the gentle strength of the dark earth-tones
and the smokey chiaroscuro painting technique reveals an aspect of the pipe I find compelling.

Painting the pipe with earth-tones of red felt like leather to me.
Faux marble for an inlaid, decorative pipe.
I just kind of painted this with a vague idea about the dashes of bright color that some of the Expressionists used,
and it sort of reminds me of van Gough.
This one came from the 'Mindscape' series.
This one's for Goethe.
I am a big fan of Chuck Close's work. I love his playful exploration of pointilism.
It was a festive winter's eve and I had a brush in my hand...t'was a small gesture, but a meaningful one.
'Can't we all just get along?'
Dali's pipe in a neo-classical, surreal landscape was a real kick to paint.
This one came out of my Quantum-foam series.
The Genie is out of the bag now, you politicle-boyz. Watcha gonna do with all them WMD's?
(If war is the answer, then we are asking the wrong questions.)
I love Hockney's work. Will the last painter out please turn off the lights!?
'If Homo sapiens are made in the image of the Great Spirit, then...
does that make God an evolutionist or just a materialist?'
I was commissioned to do a 'Basquiat pipe,' wich allowed me to write-off my visit to his retrospective.
What an excellent exhibition!
I met this FANTASTIC poet in the Basquiat galleries...
so naturally he got one too.
If evolution had not resulted in the creation of humanity...
would God be compelled to make us up?
