'COSMETICS, AFTER MORANDI'
 
Giorgio Morandi is one of my favorite artists. He painted the same objects for years in
compressed compositions and elegant grays. I am trying to understand more about those paintings by setting up these small still life paintings with my cosmetics.

'PICKLES'

My grandfather was a pickler, and so my father's nickname was pickles. Sure wish I had
those recipes!

'REESE STACK 1'
I bought these for the trick or treaters (ha ha) and was playing with stacking and balancing them. Thought they would be interesting to paint, so I added background and lighting. It reminded me of staging a play with a solo performer.

'OPEN AND CLOSED'



Even in Northern California we get some beautiful changing leaves in the fall. I set these on a window sill, and watched them curl into sculptural shapes, one formed a cup and one closed in on itself.

'THE TWIST'
This was completed last Wednesday from two, 2 1/2 hour sessions with a model. I meet at a friend's art studio one evening a week and share the cost of a model with three other artists. We have a nice camaraderie and it's a friendly atmosphere. This model has been working with us on and off for about twenty years, and she can still do a long pose twist.
