New Painting

8 X 8 Acrylic on Canvas

Hi All,

I know its been a while, but you know how summer is. Its too fun and too fast! So I did manage to squeeze in a painting. This one I did as a commission for Tim Twiss of Milford Music for his new CD cover. Its a painting of the instruments he used on the CD. A banjo, bones, tambourine and jawbone. If you were wondering "Is that the jawbone of a Peruvian donkey?" well yes that is the jaw bone of a Peruvian donkey and the teeth are removable!

Dandelions Painting!

Hi Everyone! I hope this comes through OK.

"Dandelions" is not part of my "Painting A Day" series, but a new painting I did last month. The dandelion is so underated and thought our lawn looked so pretty will all those fuzzy yellow dots! So I laid down in the lawn and took a super close up picture of a really bright yellow one and was amazed at the beauty of this weed! They are such a happy little weed! I just had to paint them!
I will be back at "Painting a Day" in a couple of weeks,
but till then I will try to squeeze in a few here and there.

Sunday Morning Mango!

Anyway, Bob Ross I am not! This painting took a good 3 hrs! I got myself into a bit of deeper water than I wanted and took on something a little to complicated for me to complete in an hour or 2. I love detail and the plate had so much cool stuff I couldn't resist.

Well, I did finally get to eat the mango and it was GOOD! "Sunday Morn Mango" Acrylic on Canvas 10 X 8"
