Here's yet another small (somewhere around 4x6 inches) study in acrylic.  Someday I'll bust out my oils again, but in the meantime I'm still having fun with plastic paint.

Gifts

These I painted for my little sisters.  Notice the really thick handling of paint on the boat image.  Yes, it was a struggle.  Sometimes I forget the notion of patience...

As you can see from these studies, I'm still learning how to properly reproduce my paintings.  It's tough coercing the digital image into a closer likeness of the original.  Sometimes it's the limitations of one's resources (the scanner I use, for instance, can be a little finicky), but more often, it's just me.  So, I press on, learning as I go.

Both of paintings above are acrylic.  The conch is on plywood, the knight on what I think is 1/8 inch MDF.

Here are some more of those postal watercolors. 

So, the guy on the left.  As is probably more than evident, I fought the medium and biffed the anatomy.  Alas.

Hello... Again

Clearly I've been neglecting this blog.  So, here, enjoy a couple watercolors originally painted to hide--or distract from... or make up for--my otherwise soporific letters.

I'm not one for writing New Year's resolutions I may or--more likely--may not keep, so don't expect any.  Nevertheless, as you might infer from this post, I am indeed still among the living--and I have more art stuff I'm more or less willing to share.  I hope to see you around.
