Winter Leaf

That's it. That's the end of the series. I took the photo on a walk with my friend last winter. It's a maple leaf with ice frozen onto parts of it. Some of the brighter spots on the leaf are metallic paint glare--It doesn't necessarily have that much glare face to face.

Knots!

About a month ago I re-learned how to draw knots. Here are the ones I've done at my house (there are a few others that I did during various staff meetings that I'm not going to dig out of my work stuff).

They appear in the order in which I drew them.






This last one is for my friend, Bill, who LOVES dragons.
My favorites are the ferret biting it's own tail and the vine.

Birds!

I've been working with pastels lately. I love it. They're great for things like feathers and fur. These are a couple of birds from national geographic.

Black Eyed Pea-king

This is a black eyed pea peeking out of it's pod. It's from my garden over the summer. When you open one of these pods while it's still green and lush, before it dries, the spot on the pea is deep crimson and purple, and the pod is speckled and technicolor. The painting is 18" x 24".

A new cartoon! (An Unholy Last Supper)

This is "An Unholy Last Supper." I painted it for the farm down the street on some salvaged wood that they sanded for me. Click on it to see the image larger.
My favorite characters are the turkey and the pig.

Some long awaited cartoons

So, this first one is older. Like a year or two old. The text is a pretty famous international workers of the wold slogan, "Workers of the World Unite! All you have to lose are your chains!" Maybe you can tell--if the flash hasn't washed it out too badly, that the lobster has freed himself from the thick blue rubber bands that had once restrained him. This is painted on the surface of an end table. It's about 1' x 2'.


Click on this one to see it larger. The text of this is:
Whale: Pie. I made a pie.
Stick bug: What kind?
Whale: Vegetable.
Stick bug: I don't eat meat either.

This is painted on remnants of an old dresser, and is hanging up in my friend's apartment at White's Mill.

Thelma Sanders

That's the name of this kind of squash. I painted this for my sister in law's breakfast nook. I believe it is "homey."
