Great composition. Love the big strong shapes and simple colors. I also love the shadow on the wall and the quick confident brushwork. |

When you are dressed this fashionably, you get other people to use the phone booth for you. "I think I can see Macy's from here. Yes, they are having a sale on scarves..." |

I love all the characters in this painting, from the rough slave traders to the tall bare chested viking and the poor beautiful slave being sold. Lots of great details. |

I am not sure what stories some of these pieces were painted for and it is hard not to make up your own stories. I think this is about a woman who was forced to live in an apartment with a bunch of men who wouldn't stop talking and it gave her a headache so bad that a police officer and his wife had to come rescue her... |

I admire how light and airy this piece feels. The two foreground figures are excellent. Overall, they aren't much lighter in value than the background scene, but the piece still manages great depth. Look at the little spot of dark leaves just to the left of the right-most woman's face to heighten contrast as well as her red lips. The black hair of the woman in the middle is like an anchor that everything else hangs on. Great use of value and saturation to create depth. |

Another painting that makes me want to come up with my own story. I this one is also about a woman with a headache and the man is trying to get rid of it by squeezing her forearm. It isn't working. |

Almost feels like a Sorolla with the concise brushwork and colors. |

I could be remembering this incorrectly, but I am pretty sure I read that this piece was done with little or no reference. Great fun either way. |
