More Animal and People Paintings

Here's a new one.

With the urging of some fellow well trusted artists I have attempted to leave this painting a little unfinished. This was difficult as I originally planned to have the woman in this painting wearing a red dress. So be it. Here it is. Baby Bear, my cat makes his debut in this painting.

" The Owl and the Pussy Cat" is an oil on linen and it is is 24" x 30".

People and Animals a paintng or two

Let's just say I've decided to bring more people together with animals.

Animals are a strong element in my life. I love them and would like others to love them as well. So here I go bringing animals and people together in my paintings.

The first Painting is "Sky Hunters". Nancy runs a raptor sanctuary here in San Diego. She rehabilitates injured raptors and releases those that are able to be returned to the wild back into the wild and cares for those that are too injured to be returned to the wild for the rest of their lives. The painting has been done in oil and is 14" x 18" on linen board.

The second painting " Never More" is a model I had painted from a few times and improvised by adding a raven. I used oil and gold leaf. The size is 14"x 18" on linen board

I recieved an Award this weekend

Here I am accepting an award , the Gallery Presidents Special Award ,at the COAL Gallery Annual open juried show. John Asaro was one of the Judges this year.

The painting that won the award is Lenny's Clam Bar.

Here are Two of My Latest Paintings

The painting on the top of this page is " Lenny's Clam Bar" rendered from a most memorable evening spent at this particular restaurant in New York. The Painting is 24" x 30" Oil on Canvas and is $1100

This painting was a real challenge. Let's just call it a tremendous learning experience.

The second painting "Roosevelt Park" also a memorable day in New Jersey.

This painting is 24" x 30" Oil on Canvas and is $950.

They say It's Alright

"They Say it's Alright" is a 16" x 20" oil on canvas.
Does she look familiar?

I worked on the painting some more. I wasn't happy with the seemingly blue circles around my eyes and the colors in the photograph were not correct..
