Tulips on the table. Spring was in the air on the Upper West Side where old friends gathered to stave off the cold.

Sonoma Vineyard

A Sunday afternoon in the Sonoma sun rejuvenates old vines. To be surrounded by green and to see the start of new life all around is enough to make one almost hopeful.

After the Guests Have Gone


After the Guests Have Gone
Oil on Wood
8"X10"
SOLD

The party is over. The guests have gone home. Their laughter still fills the air. And the bouquet of miniature pink roses sitting on the kitchen counter is a reminder of the impromptu dinner party that filled our house with friendship to start an otherwise ordinary week.

Summer Afternoon

Summer Afternoon
Oil on Wood
12"X12"

So many reasons to rejoice in the goodness that resides all around; A good friend's 75th birthday celebration; Oliver Sack's moving article, "My Own Life."; Adam Gopnik's moving piece, "The Driver's Seat" on learning to drive; and Phillippe Falardeau's quiet masterpiece, "Monsiur Lazhar."
Life is short. Keep it simple. And real. 

Looking ahead to long days, soft air, and gentle breezes blowing the world's cares away.
