Cafe de Flore, Paris
Cafe Flore, Paris. This is an 18x24in oil painting on canvas. I loved sitting at the cafe thinking about all the fabulous people that have sat at these tables. It can’t get more Parisian than this.

Old Birch Trees on Tenth Avenue East
Unfortunately, Birch trees in the area are slowly going away as a “birch blight” makes it’s way from tree to tree. Many have already died, many more have dead branches and will soon be gone. This stretch of 10th Ave E. on Capitol Hill still has some beautiful old birches lining the sidewalk, and so far they have escaped the blight. Hopefully they will be spared for a long time to come because they add such an amazing atmosphere to the street.
The Curvy Sidewalk on 13th Ave. E.
Thirteenth Avenue East on Capitol Hill is a nice curvy quiet street with gardens.

The Grazing Goat
The Grazing Goat 16x20in. Oil on panel. This is the cafe on the ground floor of the hotel Beth and I stayed at in central London. It was a really nice hotel a couple blocks from the Marble Arch, and an easy walk to all the main sights in central London
Johnny Sunshine
“Johnny Sunshine” 16 x 20 in. oil on panel. This is painted from an old black and white photo from the 1800s that I came across on the internet. Some people think he might have been a riverboat gambler on the Mississippi River. I just liked the photo, which was not in very good condition.
Bia Bennett in a blue bonnet
“Bia Bennett in a blue bonnet” is a 16 x 20 in. oil painting on a panel. I thought about calling it “Debbie Did It.”
Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other
“Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other” Oil on panel, 16 x 20 in. When I was painting this I happened to hear Willie Nelson’s song by that name ad thought it would be a pretty silly name for the painting.
Frank's Formative Years
“Frank’s Formative Years” Oil on panel, 16x20 in. This one I thought looked like Frank Figliuzzi as a boy.
Mona Louie
This is my dog Louie, an Italian Greyhound, and about the happiest, most playful and loving dog you’re ever going to meet. I had been wanting to paint his portrait for a while to put over the fireplace in the living room, and I finally got it done. Since he’s an Italian Greyhound, I wanted to paint him sort of like the Mona Lisa, with Tuscany as a backdrop. I painted this in oils on a canvas board, and I think it turned out pretty great.
Man Repair
"Man Repair" at 10th & Union in Seattle. Oil on canvas 8x10in. I think it used to say Newman Auto Repair.
Holly Hock
“Holly Hock” Oil on Paper 11 x 14 in.
