Other Places & Things

Sometimes inspiration arises unexpectedly. It could be Chicago’s bridge lift, or a late summer harvest. Maybe a carnival parade in Montevideo, Uruguay, or a street fair in Buenos Aires. Perhaps California, or Havana, or New Orleans. You’ll find all of these and more in this portfolio.

San Telmo Afternoon

SOLD. The oldest and only somewhat gentrified part of Buenos Aires was fascinating to me, with gorgeous architecture and funky shops.
Street Fair

Pastel on paper, 15" x 11. This sun-bleached couple just looked so Californian that I had to capture the moment.
New Orleans Dusk

SOLD Neon reflecting on rain-streaked streets made the French Quarter look, if possible, even more colorful.
Late Summer Bounty

Pastel on paper, 9" x 12” The last of the fresh veggies were absolutely delicious!
Heirloom Tomatoes

Pastel on paper, 9" x 13” These “ugly” tomatoes tasted so much better than the perfectly round supermarket imitations.
San Telmo Street Fair

SOLD. Vibrant energy and affordable crafts in an old Buenos Aires neighborhood lured me, and had the same effect on a collector!
Havana Alley

Pastel on paper, 9 x 12" Everywhere we turned in Old Havana, we feasted on color.
New Orleans Cafe

Pastel on paper, 13 x 18" (18 x 23"), $680. In my travels it seems that poking my head into a quiet courtyard always yields rewards.
Havana Along the Malecon

Pastel on paper, 9 x 12" (15 x 18" matted and framed) I stood under the hot sun for way too long because I couldn't stop photographing the colorful cars driving by the colorful buildings.
Carnival Parade

Pastel on paper, 9 x 12” (15x18 matted and framed), $590. I was entranced by the magic, music and movement of carnival in Montevideo, Uruguay.
