Shrimp (SOLD)

what is the mutiple of shrimp. shrimps. no.

Entice with Spice (SOLD)


I was reading somewhere  that the age of the blog is giving way to facebook and twitter. I don't know for sure if that is true statement.  What is a true statement is that I was a more convincing liar before Facebook. Practicing the craft of deception and keeping up a perky facebook  status among "friends" requires maintaince to stay relevant. Honesty is the best policy, unless, of course, you are an exceptional liar.

Waiting for the Madgi (SOLD)


 
This painting is a work in progress that is quickly turning into work. The more I do to it the more work it seems to need, just like me, sitting here...waiting for the madgi.
I have done more work on this and now it appears a bit flat. I will probably keep adding more color to it soon.

The New Dress (SOLD)

This is one of those paintings that I struggled with. I sketched it out and I liked it. I painted on it more and then I didn't like it. I set it aside and came back to it again. I worked on it more and eventually this is what it looked like. I like it.
Thanks for looking. I'm not kiddin'.

The Lady Ann (SOLD)



 
Five years ago I was beginning to be....."all about learning this craft of painting". 
Most of the time, during all those brief and fleeting days, I tried being vigilant and conscientious in my efforts to improve those skills . On the days, I could not "hit for shit", or (paint my masterpiece), I often wondered what it was that I had forgotten.  I look back at some of those early works "of which I was all so proud at the time" and I can cringe.
and I look at my early "homeruns"
and now I sigh,.....How could it be any other way?
Oil on panel 11"X14"
I am declaring this to be officially my 1200th painting.
