Walk Dogger

8x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

Wondering about that title? Well, this is a thing my daughter and I do almost on a daily basis: backward talkin'. We don't even have to try. It just comes naturally and is always a bizarre surprise. I love the weird word tangles our brains come up with. It is especially entertaining when we screw up names. Like our friends Greer and Jim? Imagine the looks we get when we call them Jeer and Grim. And we do. It's just one of our many unsung talents. Good thing we understand each other...

A Walk In The Woods


10x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

Beginning on August 1, The Daily Painters Gallery website will feature an online international show to "celebrate the beauty of the world and taking care of it". I am one of the 137 artists hailing from 10 different countries that exhibit Daily Paintings on this online gallery. For one month, we will all be painting the same theme but with very diverse interpretations. It should be quite an exciting and interesting exhibit. This is my little teaser preview painting. I have been working on many ideas and sketches to put my own spin on "Painting Tribute to a Beautiful Earth". Plan on seeing my quirky little people in all kinds of "earthy situations"! Consider yourself warned...

Naked Jaybird


10x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

I've been wanting to do another painting with these "lollipop trees" for a while. I really like to play with scale and depth in a picture. I think it's more interesting than if it's "correct" and what you expect to see. Much more engaging . So I guess this whole picture falls into that category. I like this little guy and his long cast shadow on the purple landscape. And what's up with those birds....
