"Matera y Flores"

I started doing my paintings for the "Painting in the gardens" class I am going to take this summer. This is the first piece... A pot with flowers that I photographed in Giverny, France...

I worked a little bit more on this one... I added more light and I also tried getting a better pic.

Bridge at Argenteuil

This painting is a Master Study of one of the paintings from Monet's series of Argenteuil. I painted this in the first course I took with professor Chang; it was then that I discovered that I needed to go back to art.

Honfleur's Old Dock

After some internal debate I decided to post this painting, which I did almost a year ago. It is the old dock at Honfleur, France. The picture is me when he had our "Plein Air"section by the Old Dock, you can see my face covered with Prussian Blue - "the wild horse" -... Good times!!!!

Three Cherries

I will post another picture - I did not like the one that was here...



I woke up this morning with the urge to paint, I went through the fridge and found some cherries... So, this is the result.

Still life with two Mangoes

So! this is my latest creation... When my mother brought the mangoes from the grocery store they were begging to be painted! This is proof once again that I am absolutely in love with color and simple compositions... For some reason I am attracted to round things (as in the "Granadillas" painting). Hope you like it!
