Preparation  |  10 x 10  |  Oil on canvas 

While things are still a little chaotic I thought I'd do something small. I used to do a lot of these "place settings" back when and got the itch to do another. It really scratched that itch. Currently I'm working on a composition that originated a long time ago. Each time I came across it I would tell myself, "I really like that I should save it for later". Later has finally come. Hope I can do it justice. 

 

The Real Thing

The Real Thing  |  18 x 24  |  Oil on panel

 

2026 has started off kind of complicated. Lots of distractions and unexpected events, so time for painting had to be squeezed in between all of that. I'm not going to say that now all is calm, I don't want to jinx myself, but at this precise moment there has been a return to the mundane. The way I like it. I finally finished my current painting. One of my favorite subjects. I just love the black, white and red thing. Not sure what'll be next. 

Pool Bowl No. 47

In 2006 I painted my first "Pool Bowl" for auction on eBay (see below). Now here it is 2026 and I'm posting number 47. They're really fun to paint and have helped pay the bills for a long time. Hope I've got a few more left in me.
