The Next Generation




The third generation painter in our family?
My aunt passed the passion for art on to me. And now it's my turn to pass it on to my niece.

I've been very lucky to have Nicolette painting with me lately.
She enjoys painting and has produced several beautiful abstract paintings.

Sharing a Joke



Oil Pastel on 12x16” canvas panel
This is from a photo I took at an outdoor bar.

What drew me to the image is a group of friends sharing a good joke.

I think I’m about 90% done but it still needs a few tweaks. Like showing a smiling mouth on the woman on the right to get across the idea that they are all laughing.

I'll get back to this one soon and finish it.
