Paintings, pastels, and Tanach illustration. Prints of existing works available.

Work that does not belong to any one series: landscapes, portraits, a painted shtender, and a few pictures of the work being made.

Landscapes and portraits

Ocean landscape, pastel on paper. Portrait of Tzvi Rhodes o.b.m., oil on canvas. A couple, in pastel. A portrait in ink. And a wedding picture set against an imaginary labyrinth — see also the wedding picture post.

My teacher’s living room

Acrylic on paper — the living room of Yitzhak Giladi, who taught me.

A painted shtender

Not everything is on paper. A decorated book shtender.

The Kretshnif portrait

The portrait itself, and the story behind it, are in A Rabbi with a Violin.
