Vincas

Acrylic | Image size: 18x24” | Framed size: 27x32”

One of the most inspiring painting locations in Tucson is the historic resort Hacienda Del Sol. This pot is one of many throughout the property bursting with beautiful plants and flowers.

Night at the Beach

Watercolor | Image size: 9x12” | Framed size: 18x21”

$2,000

For a year, I had looked forward to a beach vacation on Nantucket. The setting was magnificent — a little house situated a few yards from the bay and a couple hundred steps from the Atlantic Ocean. A few days into the trip, we got word that Hurricane Henri was headed directly for Nantucket. The last direct hit was 30 years ago. The islanders panicked as hundreds of boats were ordered to evacuate, the ferries and planes were halted, and we awaited instructions. Our tiny house could easily wash away if the ocean and the bay ever came together. Twelve hours before Henri was to arrive, the storm veered to the west and made landfall in Rhode Island. We still spent a tense night as the hurricane created huge ocean waves, and our house was pelted with fierce rain and high winds. The next evening, we sat in these chairs on the beach and enjoyed a serene sunset, as if nothing ever happened.

Five or Six Flowers

Acrylic | Image size: 18x24” | Framed size: 25x32”

$3,200

I enjoyed painting "Vincas" so much, I painted it again in an abstract version. As I continued to work, I worried less about maintaining the original composition and just let the creative process lead me.

Saguaro Pollock 2

Acrylic | Image size: 30x36” | Framed size: 37x40”



$10,000

This is the ninth painting in the Master Series. I had so much fun throwing paint when I created Saguaro Pollock 1 that I wanted to do it again — this time with an earth-tone palette. I love the dimensional look and the feel created by the rich, thick paint.

First Flower

Watercolor | 9x11” | Framed size: 24.75x28”



$4,500

This very special painting from the vault is my first-ever floral. I painted it in 1993 on the island of Sifnos where I studied for a month with Professor Chuck Albanese in the Greek Isles. I returned from that odyssey altered, and knew I wanted to spend my life as a painter. This is only the second painting ever released from that trip and will be a significant addition to anyone’s collection.

Mom’s Cardinal

Watercolor | Image size: 9x12” | Framed size: 17.25x20.5”



$2,500

In July, while in New Jersey for my high school reunion and a visit with the family, my mom fell and broke her hip. Three long days later, she was gone. I believe she had waited for me to come home to say goodbye, and having the opportunity to tell her once more how much she meant to me was truly a gift. During this trip, I started painting this cardinal. Since my mom loved cardinals, it seemed fitting to dedicate this painting to her—Dorothy Inez Lawrence—now at peace and with the angels.

Nantucket

Watercolor | Image size: 9x12” | Framed size: 22.25x19”



$2,000

Before Hurricane Henri’s arrival on Nantucket, the daytime sky turned eerily gray, and those residents along the beach began to evacuate in anticipation of the storm.
