In progress





The underpainting for this large (24x24) piece is finished now. Can't wait for it to fully dry so I can move on to the glazing.

Purchasing Options

I haven't done too many floral paintings in my career, but every time I do, I realize what I'm missing. Studying some of the great large floral paintings by the Dutch Golden Age masters, in particular Rachel Ruysch, has gotten me interested in doing some more ambitious floral compositions.

I'm sometimes interested in creating multiple paintings using the same items. This particular painting is the final of a series of three that were made using a wonderful clay Chinese teapot and porcelain teacup. The other two members can be seen here and here.

I have a small collection of stone eggs, and when I'm in a playful mood in the studio, they can be some of my favorite things to paint. They also always seem to suggest a storyline. I was amused by the idea of arranging the small glass marbles as though they were present for an audience with the Important Egg.

This piece is available for immediate purchase using the above button. There are also a few larger views on my website.

Purchase Information

Several years ago I purchased a set of antique marbles, and have been painting them ever since. It's a great subject for me, with an endless variety of colors, reflections, and highlights.

I'm really happy to offer this tiny painting for your collection. And yes, I mean tiny. It's under 2 x 2 inches, or about the same size as a large postage stamp. It's framed as shown below, with the outer dimensions of the frame being 6 x 6 inches - ideal for that small wall area you don't quite know what to do with.

This is the perfect opportunity to own one of my original paintings for less than $100! Purchase information is here.
