Today's paintings include two of my favorite compositions that my patrons also enjoy very much. I've done several iterations of the Sunrise Poppies series in recent months, but this is the first time I've done it on a large canvas.

The Bouquet with Striped Cloth series was the first painting on my blog, and it sold within a day or two after I listed it.

One of my patrons who's opening a gallery in Brooklyn bought a painting today, and has two other paintings he's bought from me rented out to a large law firm in New York. This is the piece he just bought:



Looking Back at Gallup at Sunset

Quote of the day: "It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures." --Vincent van Gogh
