This is a painting of my grandmother's cookie jar. Actually, it is one just like it. The original, I'm happy to say, resides with my cousin Jesse. This cookie jar reminds me of all the holidays spent in my grandparent's house. The title is appropriate because I will be taking a short break from my daily painting so that I can finish a few paintings for an upcoming exhibit. See you soon.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 I found myself in Grand Central Terminal because as it turns out is where the Apple Store is. My iPhone needed to be replaced which was something of a pain but it gave me an opportunity to wander through this historic and beautiful structure. This is a painting of the famous clock which sits atop the information kiosk that can be seen in so many movies.

This was the view down Lexington Avenue during the last storm. What you're not seeing is the crumpled umbrella overhead and the glove that I dropped at my feet. Ah, editing.

Some days I can't for the life of me figure out what to paint. That's when I start looking around the studio. I've looked at this pulley countless times. It is the upper pulley on my studio easel. It is part of the system responsible for keeping me out of traction. Thank you pulley.

This is a painting of Zoe. She posed for a portrait class that I teach at the Council for the Arts in Chambersburg, PA. This is one that I started back in September and got 90% finished. She kept looking at me (her eyes were part of the 90%) pleading to have her arm completed.
