Lunch with Mary Jane

Whenever I think of my childhood I would recall magical moments. These are a few of those moments. The paintings you see before you were from another era. A time when life was simpler and full of hope and prosperity. White Castle sprung up in areas you only longed to visit once in a while and McDonald's wasn't as well known and too far away.

As a young girl, I would go to the local corner store in the Bronx to purchase goodies. It was the kind of store where the owner would know you by family name and kept a running tab. Mary Janes were filled in a large glass jar, as were all of the candies. Fresh fruit filled baskets, and brown paper sacks were lined on the counter to fill it with your hearts desire. I remember penny candy like it was yesterday and while I may have not had lots of candy, I always saved my pennies for my Mary Jane's. In High School I would order BLT and hot cocoa; what a treat. I loved pears, apples, and of course oranges... Umm I can almost smell and taste them once more. What was so amazing to me is how easily everything fit into this little brown paper sack.... hence, this series. There are a couple more I will photograph and post soon.

Self Portrait

A few months ago I wanted to practice painting in a very different style than I am accustomed to and I think I succeeded in this self portrait. Not a style that I can get used to but it was a lot of fun doing. I hope you enjoy this style and as always thanks for taking the time to view.

The Stars are out tonight

I am so fortunate to have had these women in my life even if it was only on the big screen. These "Stars" or "Starlets" have graced us all with music, comedy, theater, and joy so it is only fitting that I take some time to honor them with the passion I have and the love of the Arts. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed painting them. If you are inclined to want to have the painting you can now do so with Pay Pal.

Thanks for taking the time to view them.

These paintings are available. Giclee prints coming soon.
