The latest from the studio


Sorry to be so remiss about posting some of my work.  I'll blame it on the holidays, the beginning of the year and that I needed to wash my hair.  (One reason is as good as another, don't you think?).

This is Gem in the Rough.  I just finished her late last week.  The background is from an abstract workshop that I took last year.  I have been mining my old canvases for new inspiration.



This is Jester.  The photo makes him look a little more bright than he deserves.  I have been experimenting with Art Deco work.  The result was the background on this painting.  I am quite pleased with the result.


This is Carnival.  A palette knife painting on a 6x6 board.  My amazing stepson Alex (as well as other folks) encouraged to do more palette knife work and this is one of the results.


This is Riotous Melodie.  She is another example of mining my older works.  I was quite unhappy with where this painting was going originally, but when I pulled it out and threw Melodie on it, the whole thing sang together. 


And, this is Just Clownin' Around, because I love frogs and just can't resist painting them.
