First Grader
Big comfy chair. Favorite books to read. Stuffed critter by your side. It’s a good day.

Indian Mother and Child
This is an old painting. Back then, when practicing and experimenting, I would select photos from magazines and try to recreate them in my style.

Chuck Berry
I’ve been playing around with watercolor pencils again. I picked on rock-n-roll icon Chuck Berry this time. I decided to overlap a facial portrait with his signature “duck walk.”

Faces
This is the kind of stuff you come up with when you’re just playing around with paint and canvas. No plan, no preparation. Just go for it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, the trip is fun.

Flamingos
Big empty wall in the bedroom. Begging for some art work. Had to come up with something. Created this painting and called it, “It Matches The Bedspread.” No, there are no flamingos on the bedspread. It just picks up the colors. Well, it used to. The painting has since been replaced by “Jim and Myrt” (posted June, 2008).

Rinsing Hair – Red
I painted this a long time ago. When I just happened across a digital file of it I thought, what the heck, I’ll post it. It’s characteristic of my paintings at that time: quickly done with larger brushes and simple brushstrokes.

No Comment
I did this painting some time ago. It is in a private collection.
The tug of war between press and politico is never ending. One wants to gather and provide meaningful information and to elude evasive or misleading responses. One wants to avoid being trapped into giving harmful and incomplete soundbites and to express a point of view without it being distorted. An optimist appreciates the checks and balances as a beneficial system. A cynic begins to despise both sides.

Vodka and Big Red
I don’t know if I prefer it this way, horizontal, or rotated clockwise 90º.
