There is a book.....



Due to many requests over the last few years, and the easy availability of online publishing, I have put together a book of my paintings.

Here is a link to a preview of it : http://www.blurb.com/books/1110333 Trust me, I am not making a handsome return on this, but it does at least make the work accessible to more folks than just those who have bought the paintings, or can afford to do so.

Just the online preview itself is a good way to see almost my entire body of work, and the color seems very vibrant, if perhaps a little more saturated than the actual paintings.

Just thought you might want to know.....

Your work is amazing. The light in your paintings doesn't just speak to me, it screams at me. It makes me want to fall into them and live there forever.

Funny story. There's this big old blue house on Main Street in New Auburn. I used to drive by that house often when my son lived nearby, and something about it always spoke to me. One cold March day, I took a photo of it, with the intention of someday painting it. I forgot all about that photo until a few months later, when I happened across your painting of the house...from almost the exact same angle and apparently even the same time of year (the same dirty snowbanks were in both my photo and your painting). Even the time of day was similar...maybe an hour's difference in the length of the shadows. Coincidence, or a result of the Collective Unconscious? Why did we both fixate on that particular house? Does it radiate some kind of special energy?

After I saw your painting, I gave up on ever painting the big blue house. You'd already said everything I wanted to say about it, and you'd said it much more eloquently than I ever could have. Wonderful work!

Hi Murad,

I came your site via Wetcanvas and am glad I did because you are the painter of some of my favorite paintings there. You have a beautiful and distinct style. Congrats on the new book. Keep it coming!
