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.

very good piece!!! Like the shadows cast onto the cup, the handling of values leading to crisp clean suggestions. works well....wonderful
Wonderful! Love the lighting - and I can sympathize with eating your still-life....
Thanks larry and Nicole. I'm pretty happy with it in a couple of areas. I ve been trying to break out of what I call a traditional setup or composition. I wanted to back up and give the elements some breathing room instead of the tighter croppings that I've been doing. The second it a more active and impressionistic brush stroke that I tried to carryout through the whole piece. The paint was laid on thick in a few places which I really liked, but I still think I have a way to go before I can say...now that's thick paint!
