This ships from Round Lake Beach, Illinois. A suburb outside of Chicago. I use UPS and sometimes US Post.
This watercolor is called Passover, painted in 1995. It’s 8x10 inches on paper, and it’s one of the looser, more gestural pieces from that time in my life. I was doing a lot of quick observational and memory-based work, and this scene is a kind of shorthand for a family gathering around the table—something I saw often growing up.
There are four figures here: three seated with their backs or profiles visible, and one standing or leaning in, engaged in conversation. Everyone is dressed up, which gives it a formal feel. The standing figure seems to be leading the moment—maybe saying a prayer or telling a story, which is why I titled it Passover. It’s not a literal depiction, but more about the feeling of gathering for ritual.
The medium is watercolor, applied in a monochromatic reddish-brown wash. The figures are simplified down to their basic geometry—blocks for torsos, arcs for arms and heads, and verticals for chair backs.
The table anchors the bottom half and the standing figure balancing the top left. There’s a painting on the wall behind them, which frames the head of the speaker, pulling your attention to that spot.
I think of this piece as part of my ongoing exploration of narrative moments—how much you can say with very little. It’s rooted in personal memory, family history, and my ongoing interest in tradition, ritual, and storytelling through body language.
