This painting is inspired by Moorish design and architecture.

A quiet, intimate moment with a figure, glacing off to the side. There is an air of mystery here. Perhaps a conversation is happening.

It's quiet and simultaneously dynamic. Breathtaking blues and minimal white are handled with masterful brush strokes. The moorish inspired screens and deep brick red pattern add to the elegance of this painting.

Please note the thick expressive brush strokes.
Size: 11x14 inch
Medium: Oil on wood panel

The gold leaf frame is a lovely finishing touch for this modern painting.


The Flemish Renaissance, Mughal portraiture, Classicism and Cubism are primary references for my work. The subject always begins in the representational form with a contrasting background. Through layers of paint and glazing, the work evolves into the abstract or remains representational. Although divergent in process, each painting unfolds from a deeply intuitive, personal and imaginative narrative. Whether portrait, figurative, still life or landscape, the true subject is always; beauty, form, color and spacial relationships. less
