Scenes of Life

A pianist in a red room, musicians in Harlem, an afternoon by the pool, children on the rocks of a river: my scenes of life capture ordinary moments, the light of an instant and the attitude of the figures. These contemporary genre paintings are painted in oil, on canvas, wood panel or paper.
