Whall Family

This commissioned family portrait of the Whalls taken at Clear Lake, was inspired by one of those 3" square black and white photographs circa 1963.  (Photos weren't developed until 1965). Mom and child were added to include everyone in the family, and hippos are notorious photo bombers...ha!  The larger scale was fun to do and I find the vintage aspect very interesting.

Don Ranchie

This is a portrait of my cousin Ann's husband Don in his younger days duking it out some time in the 60's.  I understand he was a fairly good fighter holding his own with some top ranked amateurs.  Not sure if he won this particular fight, but he was looking good at the time of the photo.  The painting is for his daughter Dawn Marie, a wonderful woman who has helped me out, and this is my way of saying thank you.

Social Media

Even the strongest of us are not immune to the dark side of social media.  It has enabled terrorism, bullying, privacy abuse and fake news to name just a few.  So many of us have become slaves to our devices, especially the phone, to the point where lives are ruled by them.

Cowgirl Dancing

                   

This paper mache sculpture was for my granddaughter Avery's 6th birthday which was today.  She is a very bright young lady who already shows some incredible artistic skills.  I thought she might appreciate a non toy gift even at this young age, and she made my year by saying that she loved it.

Untitled

Jack Pine Forest looked so dark and sullen in their living room, so I asked Jessie and Shane if I could repaint, and they graciously consented. This was the the rework after many edifications, and it only took a few months...ugh!
