Paintings from the 1980s

A friend from Florida sent me five paintings I left behind in her mother’s house back in the late 1980s. These are very early efforts from when I first became interested in painting. Sadly for me I quit painting for thirty years in response to someone’s callous comments about my lack of ability.

These were painted from a model.

Vito’s was my favorite Italian restaurant in Lakeland, Florida.
