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.

you are starting to get more loose with the paint, at least in this one. I love the sketchy background contrasting with the much rendered ice cream and cone. It reminds me of Chardin. Keep it up!

This is a wonderful painting. The texture and the color of the ice creme -- are great -- real but still painted. This is my favorite so far.
Great painting. It's my favorite so far.
I started this piece by trying to establish alot of the darks that I saw in the ice cream and then I was going to steadily add the lighter planes of color to create the top. It turned out that as dark as I made the background, I had to eventually put some mre darks into the creases of the ice cream folds.
