A beautiful day in my backyard painting in front of the rose bush!

Scratchy Still ( 15 of 30) SOLD

 

SOLD

Scratchy Still, 9x12, Oil on Linen

 

This was fun and I love the results.  A little brush, a little palette knife, and a little daring.

 

Gothic Venus (11 of 30)

 

Gothic Venus, 12x12 , Oil/ Charcoal, $100

 

An ode to Botticelli's Birth of Venus.  

This came out more like 'Goth' Venus.

She sort of reminds me of Juliet of the Shakespearean variety. 

Classic, youthful beauty with unforgettable hair. 

Concrete Dreamin (8 of 30)

 

Concrete Dreamin, 14x11, pastel and acrylic glazing, $50

 

I love his shape and the negative space of the sidewalk on this one.

I also experimented a bit from a sketch I did with pastel under an

clear acrylic glaze.  I gives it a luminosity. 

 

Copper Sleeping (7 of 30)

 

Copper Sleeping, 8x10, Oil on linen board, $40

 

This is my baby.  

One of my greatest joys in life.

I really like the abstact quality of the stroke in this painting.

(If you think there is a tail missing, you are right,

he doesn't have one.)
