"Commute" Greeting Card
$3.00 ea.
|
The painting "Commute" was completed in 2004 and reflects one of many aspects of life in southern California. The business of the text and the disposable coffee cup, the "in-you-face" quality of the auto advertisement, and the vacant beach reflect the drive to and from work many make each day of the workweek. |
"California Sisters" Greeting Card
$3.00
|
The painting "California Sisters" was completed in 2004 and affords some insight into what it must be like for some growing up in southern California. The print-like repetition of the palms suggest the resoluteness and familiarity of family or siblings while the tranquility of the Oceanside pier conceals the relentlessness of the currents below that work to bring about its' ruin. |
"Coffee Lookout" Greeting Card
$3.00 ea.
|
The painting "Coffee Lookout" was completed in 2004 and provides a peek into southern California culture. The disposable coffee cup, up close and personal, stands before a lifeguard tower, one of many sentinels that stand guard on the natural beauty of the southern California coast. |
"Drowning with Pip" Greeting Card
$3.00 ea.
|
The painting "Drowning with Pip" was completed in early 2005 and reflects on a passage in the novel "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville where Pip, the cabin boy, falls overboard and is overwhelmed by his solitude and the vastness of the depths of the open ocean. The large sketch of the oil pump and the sequence of the falling whale oil lamp question whether or not there are still more pasteboard mask that must still be punched through in the understanding of this painting. |
