The dogs have it this week!  I started putting dogs and cats in my paintings to soften the sometimes harsh lines of Modern design.  They give a sense of real people and families living in the Space Age.  I don't do dog portraits, or any commission painting, but I get lots of requests for breeds that people are interested in seeing in the modern settings.  No better salesman on Earth than a cute pet. 



Feel free to contact me if you have a special breed that you would like to see in a painting.

FREDERICK WEINBERG

Frederick Weinberg has long been one of my favorite Mid Century artists.  His works embody the style of the era.  I'm privileged to own one of his better known pieces, "Jitterbug"  which hangs over my fireplace.  He was also a champion of mass produced art, or product art, which helped to make great design available to the average person.

His work inspired one of my own paintings,    WEINBERG OVERTURE  which is available in my Limited Edition Print collection.
