 Red Velvet : oil : 5x5" The wrapper is just starting to peel away from this moist Red Velvet cupcake. Get ready to sink your teeth through that perfect swirl of icing, as your taste buds start to tingle in anticipation of the moist cake hidden beneath This velvety little oil painting will be at the Affordable Art Fair at Montclair Museum this year Saturday June 2, 10-5pm

April 21 – June 29  Poofs in Porcelain : oil : 5x5" I am really happy with the texture and brushstrokes in this little still life. The cheez poofs are good and crunchy and the slick sparkle of the china bowl is captured in simple clean strokes of paint I didn’t over noodle my Cheez Doodles And I LOVE painting this bowl – I have a feeling this will not be its last appearance  crunchy!
Working from a living, breathing model, with their own humor, quirks and personality is such a fantastic change from painting stale donuts and year old cheez doodles! So for the past year or so, I have been ditching the doodles and sneaking off to a life drawing session on Friday mornings with the NJ Sketch Club. The intense concentration required to look and draw for short bursts always requires more energy than I imagine and the challenge of trying to capture the essentials without overworking the drawing remains ever elusive. But it is these addictive qualities that keep me coming back for more It is a fun, and sometimes frustrating way to spend a Friday morning, but I am always fascinating to see the different interpretations of my fellow sketchers.
Stop by and Meet the Artists this Saturday, May 5th 2-5pm Exhibiting Artists: John Wolff, Florence Wint, Peter Allen, Jo Bradney, Claire Simon, Theresa Kubert, Ivan Bratko, Anne Picker, Lawrence Wlazlo, Frank Thropp, and Joel Tidey April 27 – June 8 2012  Saved You One : charcoal and pastel : 22x30" For April and June, I will have a solo show of work surrounding the acquisition, preparation, consumption and disposal of food. The work captures those brief moments that often slip past unnoticed in our fast food lives, illuminating the things we have seen a thousand times, while cleaning the kitchen, preparing dinner or taking out the trash. Thirty drawings and prints will be on display in the Madison Gallery of Morristown Memorial Hospital – the main corridor leading to the cafeteria. I wonder if my pictures will change the choices people make once they get there!
