"A" at Play, New Series

"At Rest"

8x8  Oil on museum quality panel

Well, I'm back painting from my crime partner Julie Hill's photos.  This started with Julie going out to paint "en plein aire" and it ended with her having a new summertime job...taking photos of her daughter to supply my next summer series.   To make things a little more interesting, fellow blogger & wonderful artist, Dana Cooper, threw me an Amanda Paint Off Challenge.  So Julie is feeling the pressure to supply her "best" friend  photos, Amanda's making her list of what would she would accept in payment for her modeling, Dana is working on getting her own set of shots and I'm happily painting away. Stay tuned...it could get very interesting.  Have a Happy 4th!!!!!!!!!

Problem Solving SOLD

"The Thinker"

$95 + $10 s/h

While visiting Italy's Lake Como region, I found myself watching the people as much as the beautiful lakes and picturesque villages.  The "promenade" provided daily delights of mothers with children, people on their lunch breaks and the older generation taking it all in.  These gentlemen appeared to be solving the world's problems but in reality they were probably contemplating  dinner or dessert.  Whichever it was, they provided me endless entertainment and subject matter.  Ciao!
