"How Much is that Glass Thing in the Window??"


There is a glass blowing studio next to our son's condo in Lincoln City, OR. I was fascinated with this glass sculpture in their shop. I added the shocked shoppers to this acrylic painting, for humor and for the "heck of it"

Der Gasthof! SOLD


This is a part of a larger painting i did a long time ago, in a workshop. I cut it down (threw away the Alps and a beautiful pine tree) to fit a nice mat and frame I had. I need a large inventory for my solo show at the VIP restaurant for 3 months.. April, May and June.
