These
three works might or might not become a series. Two of them grew out of
my Paintings
of Pictures of People with Paintings series, but essentially
they are experiments in combining images metaphorically to evoke viewer
responses. I like the political commentary that's developing, and it has
inspired me to do another series of small works I intend to title "The
History of America," comprised of portraits of all the US Presidents
(possibly ending with Hillary Clinton.

The following images are of a triptych mural titled "Labor Matters" that was commissioned for "Art on Wheels," a city wide summer-long exhibition of public art sponsored by the Burchfield-Penney Art Center relating to the subject of wheels, and particularly the automobile industry. I adopted a WPA Social Realist style and included references to specific works by Diego Rivera. It's painted in Acrylic on Sign board and the overall dimensions are 92" x 142" including the welded polished aluminum frame. There was a nice pamphlet that went with it, which explains each part of the design. You can access it by clicking here. It is currently in the collection of Mr. Francis Letro and Ms. Cindy Abbott. |

"Smoked
Buffalo" was my entry in "Herd
About Buffalo,"
another public art project in the summer of 2003 sponsored by the Burchfield-Penney
Art Center. A full sized buffalo with smoke stacks, it belched thirty
seconds of smoke every three minutes. It had a soot-black front section
and a rusty "steel" rear. More pictures and details are available
on the Art
as Wheels website.
From there you can learn more about the project. To read about the challenges
of the design, click here.

| Occasionally I can be persuaded to work on commission, but only if I can do it my way. The following two paintings were commissioned by John D'Arcangelo for his children. They are both oil on canvas. |
