REECES CHOCOLATE CANDY! "HERSHEYS" 6x6" (AVAILABLE!)

The painting of the Reece's Chocolate Candies offers a close up glimpse of a rhythmic arrangement of these miniature mouth-watering chocolate Morsels. Unlike a certain portion of corporate America, perhaps the Hershey’s Corporation is truly working towards making a difference. At least Richard Lenny, CEO, expresses this notion in his statement: http://www.thehersheycompany.com/making/

RADISHES ON GOLDEN ARABESQUE CLOTH 8x8" (SOLD!)


PURCHASED BY ART COLLECTOR FROM RAGLEY, LOUISIANA
I enjoy the dialogue between the evocative radish forms and the movement within the cloth and negative space. This particular rendition of radishes also breaks the conventional compositional mold of radishes, where all of them are clumped together in a single group. Additionally, the paint surface is rooted in abstraction, containing a large variety of "painterly marks" that contain meaning in themselves and also define the form. This notion was the touchtone of painters such as Degas, John Singer Sargent and Goya.

PURCHASED BY ART COLLECTOR FROM STANTON, CALIFORNIA

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO VIEW THIS SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY FILM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI4z3vhw3BA


The Derringer Flintlock Pistol was manufactured during the 18th century in Spain, and was used traditionally in duels. Weapon control and criminal rehabilitation are currently significant issues throughout the United States and other parts of the world. This film is the second phase of three segments, and integrates an artist contemplating the origins of social conflict through painting a traditional icon of battle, with the perspectives of an American male, and a social worker who counsels hardcore criminals within prisons. The next stage will involve the merging of this piece with the viewpoint of a serial killer within one of America's federal prisons. When the artwork is presented in an exhibition context such as a museum, the painting itself will be presented directly beside the film.
