"Hold On...This is Going to Hurt Like Hell"

I am keeping a journal of sorts.........Artwork rather than writing. Capturing some of the solo journey through grief.

Hold on. Hold on............This is going to hurt like hell. Self Portrait.

Working Class America..The Layer Beneath-BOB

I live in a lakefront resort community, surrounded by expensive properties and wealth both old and new. This painting of Bob is the first in as series of paintings of the working class in my community and beyond. The layer beneath that supports the wants and needs of the wealthy. This is Bob, hard working rugged carpenter.
Strong. Gentle.

Paralized

This is a quick study.........Reflects my mood some days since Kevin has been gone. Can't think, can't speak, can't breathe, can't move.

Paralized.

"Waiting for a Cookie!" Bella

This is Bella. A Chocolate Lab that I have not personally met.

Tough painting........All those browns and mouth open to boot!

Family Portrait - Henry, Albert, Brutus

I really enjoyed doing this portrait for my friend Douglas. I know these dogs so it was much easier to paint. They look like angels don't they. Actually they are little imps!
