Day 61. Rock On
“Play On” 10×10, oil on canvas $125 SOLD This is the first in the musician series to be an indoor performance. I didn’t use a brush at all this time and just stuck to the palette knife the whole way through. The model is a very talented musician. I used to babysit him and now, well, he’s […]

Day 58. Never Alone
“Never Alone” 15×8, oil on canvas $150.00 SOLD I’ve been in Philly on a work trip that lasted an extra day due to some bad weather and cancelled flights. I wondered if I’d be able to make day 58 happen at all. I’d gotten ahead on my paintings but not far enough ahead to account […]
