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'.

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."

Wild Grape Vine and Ice

I painted this (18"x24") from a photo I took a the West State Street park. The bottom photo is more true to the colors in the painting. The snowy background was especially fun to paint. Enjoy!

Collard Greens

I drew this bunch of greens over the last couple of weeks. Soon I will trade them for actual delicious food.
