“All Wined Up”
20x24” Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
$450
My toy monkey fascination has found expression in this surreal
still life- (or IS it a still life??) As with many of my paintings, I like to
give a glimpse of what might happen, and in my world these winsome
little creatures 
would
easily swing into noisy musical action just as soon as you leave the room…
The brass keys in their backs have nothing to do with the
frivolity- they're "all wined up" from a brush with the grape!
Two bottles of red wine have obviously been well
enjoyed. Nearly empty, they rest upon a highly reflective black surface with
two full wine glasses. Perched on the rim of one is a tiny wind-up monkey
(perhaps a small Steiff?). His accordion is poised and ready to play and his
tiny black bead eyes are shining with anticipation.
The drummer and violin player are antique mechanical toy monkeys
that collectors might look for from Germany or Japan. Their slightly matted,
nappy old “fur” and porcelain or bisque faces show their age. The big guy in
the striped trousers, while still vintage- is a more popular design. Some
versions have the eyes roll as he frantically clangs his cymbals- somewhat
frightening- truly intriguing!!
The many realistic details in this painting invite close
inspection. Is that a monarch butterfly on the wine label or is it something
more simian in nature? Combined with its element of surrealism/fantasy (“Will
they…?), “All Wined Up’ is sure to provoke many a comment!
The sides of this gallery wrapped canvas have been painted,
eliminating the need for a frame. As always, my canvases come sealed in back
with acid free materials and are ready to hang. “All Wined Up” has been
finished with several coats of a protective acrylic varnish, and is titled,
signed and dated on the side, and a certificate of authenticity is included.
Measuring
twenty inches by two feet , this large canvas has a richly swirled burnt sienna
and gold background and would be a striking addition, not to mention a sure
conversation piece- to any collection.

“Beach
Collection”
11x14” Acrylic
on canvas board
framed under
glass
$300
An inveterate shell collector, I find it hard to leave the
beach without tucking at least a few new treasures into my pockets...
Consequently, I had more than enough inventory to set up this
summery still life...! The background of this 11x14" painting is a pale
green, featuring an old Ball glass mason jar filled with seashells and sand.
I'm always captivated at the distortions glass causes, and was especially
pleased at how the shells appeared behind the jar's raised writing. In contrast
to the shiny smoothness of the glass, a craggy, highly textured starfish leans
against it.
I have matted this panel in white and placed it
into a silver finish frame with a rope detail (see below for photo).Under
glass, this piece overall measures approximately 18x21". I have sealed up
the back with high quality, acid free materials and attached eyehooks and wire
for hanging. A certificate of 
authenticity
is included.
"Beach
Collection" can bring memories of sun swept days at the shore and the
satisfaction of small treasures into any room in which it is hung.

“Martini
Pitcher”
16x20” Acrylic
on gallery wrapped canvas
$350
Except for perhaps
eating the olives, there are few things more fun and certainly nothing glamorous
than the creation of a martini… Nestled in pitcher or shaker, the
sound of ice rattling to get the contents just the right icy temperature swirls
with the sharp smell of vermouth and end up in a glittering martini glass. What
a process!!
The background of this 16x20" gallery wrapped canvas
has been painted a striking red and black and continues around the sides to
eliminate the need for a frame. A deep green bottle of vermouth stands behind
and shines through a classic martini. The glass’s icy contents have obviously
just been poured from the glittering glass pitcher next to it. Their images are
reflected in the highly polished black surface upon which they sit.
This canvas comes sealed in back with acid free
materials and eye hooks with wire 
are
in place for immediate hanging. It has been finished with several coats of a
glossy acrylic varnish and is titled, signed and dated on the side.. A
certificate of authenticity is included.
From the juicy olives to the
crystal stirrer to the masses of glittering reflections, this painting adds up
to an eye-catching, sophisticated addition to your 
collection!
The gloss varnish on this piece makes it very difficult to
photograph. 
Please be assured that any white glare or texture created
by reflection does not appear in the actual painting.
