I finished some more paintings…

I call that one ‘Spring’. It’s a sunset. And another sunset… But they are a matched pair. You can hang them together for a really big painting, or hang them on their own. Or put the top one above the … Continue reading

A series of acrylic and watercolor paintings that I did in just five days so that I could mail them to my daughter Mollie for her upcoming Halloween party with her fancy new emergency room nurse and doctor friends…

I think maybe Zombie Yoda will be as popular as my Christmas ninja! I call that one ‘Witch Fire”. That was going to be the spirit of a peaceful wave, but I added a tiny city poised for annihilation. You … Continue reading

So, there is a lot going on, and this is going to get confusing… even for me…

I am calling these two acrylic paintings done! But I am also still sharing the photos of my trip to Oregon. So, more pictures of Crater Lake. So, see you around, I hope.

Art on art…

I am calling this self-portrait done. I mean, I am done with it, I suppose. ‘Done’ would be a stupid name for a painting. They are never really done, are they? And the rose one is coming along.

And I even used, aside from ancient model paints I found in my art supplies, some old watercolor paints as well…

More progress on that weird vine-covered post wood carving project…

It is coming together. I admit it was a hot mess for a while, but I have done some more painting on one side. And then I did some outlining. And when I do this to all four sides, and … Continue reading

You can be all-art-side-of-the brain and have crack squirrels living in your head, or you can have a life… but you can’t have it both ways…

Because you see a stupid rock… And you remember that rotary engraving/carving tool you got for Christmas… And you think, yeah, I know, I have a million other art projects I am working on… But it would be fun to … Continue reading

My newest wood-carving project is coming along…

Ha! You can barely see it because it is so natural looking! I still have a ways to go. But the colors do help. I still think it is a pretty good way to recycle an old post. I don’t … Continue reading

Because what I really needed was another type of art project to get sucked into…

It started off harmlessly enough. For Christmas, I asked for this cool little engraver pen I kept seeing ads for, and some paint pens. I was going to use them on my wood carving stuff that I already do. And … Continue reading

If you look at these three side-by-side pictures of different angles of my latest wood-carving experiment, you could be forgiven if you find yourself wondering; “and you call yourself an artist?”

I do, and the reason that I do is that I know, somehow, that I am going to turn that hot mess into a fantastic vine-covered work of art. And, no, I don’t know how I will do that. The … Continue reading
