As my dislike of any war I painted originally a tank in a desert (idea from a war in Iraq). My husband didn't like the tank so I painted over the tank, which became a linen/black abstract painting called "A Desert Without a Tank".
will those wars ever end?

This painting (one of two pieces) was painted for a fund raising event. My daughter loved it, because it reminded her of caramel. She wanted to "eat it". (Sold).

This painting was made for my husband Jeffrey, for his Valentine's Day. One winter-y day we went to see Gerhard Richter show in Manhattan. Some of his paintings seemed so easy to paint, while others intrigued me. I stood in front of one and I told my husband, who was standing next to me, "I can do something similar. This is a piece of cake." He laughed and said "Sure," and proceeded onto another piece. Now mind you, I do not go to see paintings/galleries/museums often, nor I had enough time to paint that much (although I love to paint). But when I go to see art in galleries or museums I come close to any painting and look how it could possibly be done. And then I usually paint it in my head.
So after this show I decided that I will pay a visit to a local art store and paint one painting for my husband that would be influenced by Gerhard Richter's paintings, which my husband so much admires.
My husband loves his painting. (NFS).
