Little Things

Now...if we only had these for people.

Superstition

Having been superstitious for so many years about cutting his lucky handlebar mustache, Harley somehow always knew it would bring him good luck with the ladies.

Scale

Hat

Trick'r Treat

Grow

Ostrich was frustrated with Chicken's stunted growth issue, so every day spent in the junkyard was a struggle.

I must say that I was inspired by a fellow .blogspotter, rottentuna.blogspot.com for this one.

Open Table

"Table's Open"...oil on wood for my brother's 30th birthday and house-warming gift. Ironically, our return trip this past weekend from camping in Virginia was followed with a fitting theme.

Wedding

Plenty left in the sea.

Momentum

Paradise Drive-In

Sort of a combination of last week's theme: Swing on in, kick your heels off, and enjoy an ice cold shake at our ol' fashioned theatre. Seems like outings like this are harder and harder to come by.

Citrus-flavored Neighbor's Sign

In an instant, your sign can be signaled and seen. The slightest movement could trigger emotions in someone or something else. These are my neighbors. They smell of citrus. Perhaps they were into the air fresheners again.

Remember

that hills have eyes...

Polar

Fortune

You can find these former Fraggle Rock stars relentlessly combing the beaches in search of treasure...'one man's trash, another man's fortune.'

Green

This time of year, we are all yearning for greener pastures. 16" x 20" oil on canvas

Snap!

Student Portrait

Briggs was a good sport and model.

Self Portrait

Our students are using traditional dry media like charcoal and pastel on pre-dampened surfaces. The last of the series is a self portrait study.

I Spy

Why spy if you already see eye to eye?

cityscape

I ran across this inspiring artist, http://tommatt.com/ out of NY, and so my students are rendering cityscapes over newsprint.

Total

Total Arizona Serenity...created with total chaos, using watercolor, pastel, and charcoal.

Wired

Wired for Wishes, this Jeannie ain't up for requests...

Hide

Hidden behind a train-full of demands, the voltage cross-over nearly ruptured in exhaustion.

Communication

Networked through a labyrinth of heated tubes and buried below concrete, radiant heat is a good friend to stay in touch with in the dead of winter.

Gravity...

led to the untimely crash. Batteries not included.

Sprout

"And from the fiery ash she sprouted new life..."--author unknown>>graphite resin over tinted gesso on oak tag

Red

Super Hero!

...not quite 2, but a handful none the less.

8 D's

Buzz

"Psst! Come on, let's go. What are you doing in there?"
