Abstract Figures, 16" x 20" oil

My studio in Saxonville is having an open house on April 4 and 5 from noon to  five.

I have been painting the figure more abstractly.  Most of my figure paintings are done from a live model.  I love the muted colors and the fact that all the figures overlap as if to say “we are all together but going separate ways.” This painting is about figures moving through space.

Sometimes I paint what I see, and other times I paint what I feel. 

I am a resident of Massachusetts and have a studio in the historic Saxonville Mills in Framingham.
