My "Three Little Pigs"

"This Little Piggy"......."Don't Mess with Me".............and........."Pretty in Pink"  This is my most current version of "The Three Little Pigs."  Man, I just can't stop painting these little guys.  Every time I see a new face, I see it in paint.  They are so damn cute, I still can't believe I'm not a vegetarian!

Sea Creature Paintings

There's something magical that happens when painting on vintage wood.  Let's face it, it already has such beauty in its age and patina.  Sometimes I would just almost prefer to hang the old piece of wood to appreciate it's story in the dents and chips and cracking and peeling paint.  But, well, painting imagery is what I do.  So, I try to compliment the beauty of the antique boards and nover cover too much of it up with "new" paint.  There's a nice balance in these three nautical style paintings of seahorses and a fabulous crab.  All available at the upcoming Wholesale Gallery Show at Market Square.

I love painterly paintings.  You know, the paintings with all the fabulous brushwork and lack of tight detail.  When I work on landscapes, it's all about atmosphere and paint.  Loose brushwork and hints of warm light rule in these original oil paintings on canvas.
