Dipped in the sea and brushed with vinegar ... These chips are a harmonic convergence of flavor! A perfect balance of sea salt, tongue-puckering tang and crunch ...

Really, they are incredible !!!!

Les Trois Musiciens

Les Trois Musiciens

Well, this is my entry for this year's Banana Factory Artists' Annual. It's an acrylic painting measuring 36" x 36" featuring three musicians during the 'Jazz a Juan' Jazz Festival in Antibes Juan-les-Pins. Certainly I was inspired by the beautiful Riviera with the Mediterranean sea, white sandy beaches, cobblestone walkways, Provençal cuisine and regional wines -- along with the many museums including the Matisse, Chagall, Musée des Beaux Arts, Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain, along with the reopening of the Picasso Museum -- and just the everyday pleasures of life in the South of France ... I keep with me until I return again ...

Les Trois Musiciens - $2300.

Les Musiciens • The Antibes Paintings

Les Musiciens • The Antibes Paintings
36" x 36" acrylic on stretched canvas - in progress

Well, I spent many evenings enjoying 'Jazz a Juan' in Antibes Juan-les-Pins this past July. So many fantastic world renowned musicians !! One of my favorite singers was a beautiful woman originally from Bucks County, PA. Her name is Nicole Henry and let me tell you - what a voice !!! And class and style and friendliness. She really brought the house down for me. I have two of her cds, both of which are fantastic, but my favorite is 'The Nearness of You'.

Check out her website: www.nicolehenry.com

Cote d'Azur • the Antibes paintings


Cote d'Azur • the Antibes paintings
36" x 36" acrylic on stretched canvas


This painting is one in my current series entitled 'The Antibes Paintings'. I don't know if the Bethlehemites and the Banana Factory visitors will be ready for this series ... they're used to my tightly painted, classically rendered oil paintings ... but, it's what I'm feeling since I've returned from the south of France. It feels good to lighten up my palette and paint freely with bright colors and uneven lines.

It's amazing what an influence Europe is on my life ... in Germany I discovered the expressionists and my eyes were opened to modern art. In France I fell in love with Monet and Matisse and Chagall ... and they're with me every day since my return.

Now wouldn't an 'Antibes' painting go nicely in your living room or enclosed garden terrace?

My Exposition


My Exposition

This is the beautiful and ancient 'Galerie des Bains Douches' where my exposition 'JAZZ' took place in the month of July, 2008. I'm not sure exactly when this building was built ... but I'm guessing well over 1000 years ago. How cool is this? Old stone building ... stone fireplace ... stone walls and floors ... halogen lights ... and my Music Series. ... oh ... and the French Riviera ...


I miss it. Every day.

Christmas Card


Christmas Card • this painting is sold

Now, it's not finished ... and I really don't know WHAT I'm doing in this painting ... but I signed up to create a painting for the judging for the Allentown Christmas Card. I didn't want to do the same old beautiful, yet typical landscape ... and thought wouldn't it be more fun to paint something whimsical ... so, I present to you - unfinished - .... uh .... I don't have a name for it yet ...

Sunflowers


Sunflowers

This painting is part of a series entitled 'The Antibes Paintings'. The acrylic paintings on stretched canvas measure 30" x 30". Although I have five paintings already finished, I purchased several more canvases today. It's freeing and exciting for me to paint these paintings in a not so 'meticulous' and 'labored' approach. Hopefully they convey how happy I was to be there.

Boats of Antibes Juan-les-Pins


Boats of Antibes Juan-les-Pins


Boats of Antibes Juan-les-Pins

Last night my we went through some of my Parent's things ... and we came across an old Hess's box filled with love letters. Hundreds of letters, notes, cards ... words of love. My Mother was only 20 years or so .. and already received hundreds of love letters ... love letters to lead to 60 years of marriage - and more love letters ... and a husband who mourned her departure until he passed away a year later. Now ... what is love ... enduring true love ... compared to that?

I could, ever so possibly, be paralyzed with grief again ... still
