"Lounge Lizards-Hunter/Steadman" -pen and ink 2009

This drawing I did for my Sister-in-law and her Husband for their wedding gift. He is a Hunter S. Thompson fan and she likes my pen and ink drawings, she has always told me that...so I thought this was a perfect drawing to do for them. It is Ralph Steadman's illustration from Hunter's 'Fear and Loathing" book. I think this drawing is hilarious, but I think everything about that book, from the book, to the illustrations, even to the movie....everything - near perfection.
It is 18"x 24"

"Art*Bar 3" acrylic on canvas 2009

This is my latest 'Open Canvas Artist' painting done live at the Art Bar in the Riverwest neighborhood. This is a painting where they invite a local artist to come paint live on Sunday nights in the bar. I always enjoy doing these and it has been three years since I have done it...it was nice to get back up there and look forward to the next time. And thank you to those who came down to support me, as always I appreciate it. This painting is 5'x5'

"Birds on a Wire" acrylic on canvas 2009



This painting is very interesting to me. I debated over and over about painting the power lines. I chose not to...I wanted the viewer to see the lines without actually painting them, I think it worked. I am happy with the way the turned out. It is one of the few times where what I see in my head actually materializes on canvas. It is 24" x 18".
