My New Favorite Holiday Mug

My new favorite holiday mug has arrived from Zazzle! I wasn't planning on having more coffee today, but, what the heck! I've got to try this thing out! I may actually be more productive, and jittery, than usual by the day's end. Cheers!

Evening Treetop

Here’s a piece I’ve wanted to paint for a while. I had the sketch, but never got around to painting it. The lighting and perspective alone makes it worth tackling. But for me, it was just a great opportunity to try out some new painting procedures I’ve been itching to try.

The One And Only Mrs. Gorf

 I did the artwork for a theatrical production of Sideways Stories From Wayside School. I presented several compositions. This composition was not chosen, but I painted it anyway — just for fun. I always seem to learn something from going through this process.

Just For Fun

I Painted that sketch I did last week just for fun… just for fun.

Don't Call Me Spot

This piece began as a sketchbook drawing, but I couldn’t leave it alone until I gave it some color. I love it because it’s got so much personality.
