Now that the power has been restored, I'm back in the studio. This has been another season of weather extremes in NY, along with a mosquito population exposion that has kept me out of the garden and running between buildings.

Here are a few paintings from my California days. First up: 1982 "Country Mouse", oil on canvas 8 x 4 feet, in the collection of Lankford and Cook. I was feeling the pressure of city living again after a few years in the country, in my undergraduate years at the San Francisco Art Institute.
