"BACK TO LIFE"

I'm done with the dormant and ready for things to start coming back to life!

*This is a sculpture, called "BACK TO LIFE." The sea pebbles, mussel shells, and seaweed are made of styrofoam, aluminum foil, and paper, coated with a mixture of plaster and paper mache, then painted to look real. It measures 1'x3.'

HOW YOU GONNA KEEP EM DOWN ON THE FARM...

This portrait was a Christmas surprise: commissioned by family, for family. It was a pleasure to paint all that warmth and life, with temperatures hovering in the teens outside. It measures 18"x 24".

This is an 18"x 24" painting - a Christmas commission. It's pretty obvious here, that when it comes to enjoying spaghetti, there are no age requirements.

GET ME TO THE CHURCH ON TIME

This is an 18"x24" portrait I painted from a photo that the amazing photographer Felice Boucher took. A painted wedding portrait could be a unique memento to "the day" - feel free to contact me if you have a portrait in mind.
