"Can We, Mama? Huh? Huh? Can We?", 30x40, oil on canvas

Here is the beginning of my current project, it's going to take a while to complete.

Here is some fairly complete info on the WIP at Wetcanvas.com, still ongoing

This is based on various photos I have taken myself.

"Indy's Day Off", oil on board, 12x16

This is another slightly older painting (I can't believe I forgot to add it here!), done earlier this year. I really like this one.

"Down the Stretch", 30x40, oil on canvas

This is an old one that I thought I'd post. It's one of my favorites that I've ever done. Maybe I should work on something like this again...(Note: I am working on something new, but in the interests of having more interesting things here on this site, and while you're waiting--not that anyone is--I thought I'd work on posting some older things, too.)

I'm not promising anything...

...but I do hope to be painting more. However, I am going very slow, so don't expect a lot of updates. (Hopefully more than one every ten or eleven months, however...) My life is no longer going to be boring or ordinary, I imagine.

The above image is titled "Catching Up on Some Sleep" and is 16x20 oil on canvas.

I really haven't dropped off the face of the planet...

I'm still here, or at least I'm here again. I've been away and busy, yada yada yada. But let me tell you, it's great being back. It's great living a normal, boring, ordinary life.

This is what I've been working on of late...very bad picture, though you might not know it. It's probably nearly complete, but I'm not sure yet. 16x20, untitled for the moment...

"Dogtags/Boots Study No. 1", 5x7, oil on board

This is a study for a part of a potential larger painting.

"Puddinface Study No. 1" 5x7, oil on board

This is my cat, Hobbes, in a very Hobbes pose.

He unfortunately passed away almost two weeks ago...it was extremely sad and I will miss him. (As will my other cat.)

This is a study in preparation for a larger painting starring my little Hobbsie.

"Dude" about 3 x about 5, oil on board

This is a little painting that I've had in mind for quite a long time and had the sudden inspiration to do it today. Legos are, have always been, and always will be one of my favorite toys!

Detail of Self-Portrait

Someone asked me for a detail shot, so here it is!

Self-portrait, 12x24, oil on canvas

Yup, it's me!
