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.

Wow! That is just beautiful, Mick. I love how you paint wet stuff.
Love the light in your work!
Hi Mick
You always deliver a WOW piece! Love your art, keep it up.
Take care,
Toni
Amazingly juicy! Fabulous color..
I love the realism in this and your artistic touch. Layering enough paint is what I would like to learn, too.
Mick - this painting is my favorite! I love how you captured the wetness and color of this sweet painting!
Great color, Mick! Love those wet reflections.
Hello, and thank you all for the comments on my work. For those of you that are dropping in to look at my art and read the comments, I want to encourage you to click on the names of these artists who comment. Like me, they are every day painters and are putting themselves out there with thier own styles and techniques. If theres one thing I like about maintaining a blog it is that it's just like back aschool. We put our work up on the board and cross our fingers to see if people will stop and take it in. I usually spend an hour every other day just catching up on what's been done by our online artist community. The painters are from all over the world but they feel like they're sitting on the other side of the room in one of my old painting classes. It feels good to be back in school learning from good artists and being in a friendly competition to put out the best you can on a daily basis.
The colors and wetness in this piece are great - it looks like I could grab a slice right of the cutting board! I also like how the surface of the foremost slice looks like it has lines from the knife that just sliced through it. Incredible work!
