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.

what can I say that I haven't said before. This is a great painting, the warm strong colors are great and the composition with the different angles is great. You have a lot of talent.

Luis,
I thought for sure I would get some comments from you on the loosness and brushstrokes showing. I am really proud of this one. It looks as real as I would want from a distance, but after looking close up, there's no mistake it's a painting
Hi Mick, I did notice the loosness of the paint application, I think its great and it adds a lot of movement to the composition.
This is an outstanding painting! The paint is not only defining the subject, but also itself. This notion is the touchstone of great paintings from the past....where illusionism exists, and the image dissolves into abstraction at "arms length"--all at the same time.
