It's amazing what just an extra hour on something can do. I put in just a little more time on this painting tonight and am glad I did. I've been making a real effort to keep things "loose"...but for me there is a real fine live between loose and too loose. I think I tightened up on this just enough. Hope ya like it.

"Ball and Glove"

It sure feels good to be painting again after a few days off...had to take advantage of the nice weather this weekend and do a bunch of stuff around the house and yard. This piece marks another mini milestone...one month! This is the piece I painted tonight. I'll call it a work in progress, because I still want to add a little more detail...but I like the way it's comming. Had a lot of fun painting this old glove...it's been around a while! The signiture on the inside is Willie Stargell!

Here is last night's effort...a pair of my Grandma's sewing scizzors. They are very new looking, but I'm told my Grandma won them by winning a sewing contest in middle school. That would make them about 80 years old! This painting was really fun to paint. I'm happy with the way it turned out. I hope you like it too.

"California"

It's funny how certian things can bring back floods of memories. For me, black California license plates bring back so many memories from "the good ol days"... and of course sun and cool cars!

"Double Stuff"

I've found that oreos are much better subjects to paint than vegtables...'cuz I actually enjoy eating them when I'm done painting them.

"white hat"

It's been a long time since I've tried to paint a face in oil....it's much more difficult than I remember. Practice, practice... I hope I can get it back.

"Santa"

A neighbor friend of mine has printed some Christmas cards (with my santa painting) as a way to raise money to help special needs children receive physical therapy. She is an owner of a very specialized physical therapy clinic and 100% of the proceeds will go to these special needs children's therapy. It's a great cause. If you need to buy some Christmas cards, you can find out more, and even order by clicking here. Just thought I'd try and help spread the word.

"Vintage Skate"

SOLD

here is a little sketch of an old skate from my mother's youth. skating must not have been as fun back then...what a rough ride!

"ABC Blocks"

SOLD


I finished this painting, so I thought I'd post it again with a link to the auction. I'm really happy with a few moments in this painting I really like the worn edge of the red B block, and the shadow side of the A block.
Painting is always fun, but it is the little successes within each painting that keep me going. I thought this might look good in a child's room or maybe given as a gift to a teacher....so I'm listing it on ebay. There is a link above. Thanks for looking.

"ABC blocks" W.I.P.

Well, I didn't finish this one tonight. I got it about 1/2 way. Halloween set me back and I forgot to gesso more boards, so I painted but didn't finish one today. Two straight weeks of daily painting...it's a good start. It feels good to be doing something again after so many years. Here is my work in progress...thought I'd at least post something

"saltine"

Here is a simple one. Never really looked at a saltine this closely before.
