I'm going to post at least two paintings a week...minimum. Most will be 5"x 7" to keep things small, but like the first one...they will vary. I'll be including a link to Ebay to bid on these. Any that don't sell will be designated on this blog, and can be purchased for the minimum of $100.00

I've been an artist since age 5, when I remember drawing an airplane better than my older brother. It was a bi-wing with a propeller, (not that I'm that old... it was 1957 and it was a racing plane), and it was encouraging because up until then, it was the only thing I could remember doing better. I kept at it, and now nearly 50 years later I'm still trying to improve my creative process. Now I realize you never get better than anyone else... just more unique to your own style, and become the best painter you can be.

I love this painting...it has a lot of presence. I also like the handling of the paint. Very good job.
Thanks Luis.
It is at the top of my list for the way I was able to find the minimum amount of brushwork to reveal what the subject looked like. Looking back on this one, I felt like it was a realistic as I ever want to get without a heavy handed rendered look. If you knew my Dad you would like the painting even more. This was painted from a photo that I took of him last May and the pose I captured couldn't have been more typical.

I like the realism of this paining from the off-kilter cap to the dirty plate. The facial expression is wonderful
