New tent, new panels....happy artist


This was the first time setting up the new tent......somewhat of an ordeal. I know, it would help if we read the instructions but, hey, I'm really right brained; that would be entirely too logical.

He's watching


You won't see it often but occasionally I do paint something other than people.

Ballerina Hands - not quite


Being difficult........I wanted the drama of the stark black background but it's kicking my butt. Guess I just have to keep trying.

Nude in the works


Nude series


I love painting the female body from the back. This is an early start. I haven't decided what's going to make it "sing" yet but something will come to me.

Jill's prebridal portrait - getting closer


A little more refinement and softening and Jill will be in the house. I still have to add jewelry.

Jill's prebridal portrait


This is the beginning stages of a bridal portrait that will be displayed on an easel at the wedding reception.....talk about putting the pressure on...whew! The bride will not see it beforehand.

In the works - portrait

A little at a time.....they'll come out. You can't hide from me.

Mirror Paintings

I'm fascinated by mirrors.......this is definitely an "in the works" but I'm having a good time with it. One of the best models I've ever had. She was very intutive.

New Propanel Art Show Display


I finally bit the bullet and ordered new propanels. My 1.5 booth meet my needs nicely and looks great. I also have a new tent for outdoor shows.........and a new trailer. This was the year to get it together......in or out...... as my Grandmother would say. I chose in. I love doing the art shows. Where else can you talk to so many folks.
