My "Autumnal" exhibit showcases paintings done during the first year I began oil painting in earnest. It started in fall of 2022, when the shadows were long, and lasted into the summer of 2023. During this time, I challenged myself to paint what I saw in arrangements of colorful fruits, flowers, and vegetables. This entailed learning to mix colors and develop basic painting skills. Along the way I realized that being an artist means being a keen observer to me. And that when I find my work most satisfying it shares the discoveries I’ve made, insightfully.
Though the French Press did not ask for a percentage, 40% of all proceeds from the sales of my paintings and posters will be given to tip the service personnel. Thanks to you all for making The French Press
a delightful place to dine!
Hoping you find inspiration in my paintings,
