Happy Monday

We have some remaining shipping to go out today and then I can focus on making art again. I may be posting a bit less art but it will be more finished work. I have some Landscapes, seascapes, dancers lined up to paint and I am looking forward to hitting the easel. I have hired models as well including a professional ballerina. I figured out how to install a guest book on the site so people can sign in and a counter so I can see how many people a day view this self-important tripe. I am sure I will still come across some old sketches and drawings but I am excited to start posting new pieces. I have a second website going up this month that will give a broader view of my work as I find the blog format kind of linear.

Happy Father's Day

"At the age of six I wanted to be Napoleon- And I wasn't. At the age of fifteen I wanted to be Dali and I have been. At the age of tewnty-five I wanted to become the most sensational painter in the world and I achieved it. At thirty-five I wanted to affirm my life by success and I attained it. Now at forty-five I want to paint a masterpiece and to save Modern Art from chaos and laziness. I will succeed! This book is consecrated to this crusade and I dedicate it to all the young who have faith in true painting." Salvador Dali

after rubens---portrait of a woman

When I was younger I always tried to figure out how rubens and raphael drew/ constructed faces . There is still more to their work than I will ever understand.

Design for a glass sculpture

I designed this one day as basis to make a glass carving from it. I have already started the glass piece and will finish it soon...this sketch is for sale. It has no real meaning beyond its design--- it simply grew out of a doodle I made and decided to expand into a finished work.

Fisherman on jetty

I painted this in my kayak in Northport. I added some details later when I hit dry land. I dont fish but I like to paint people fishing for the details and movements. I will put this on ebay tonight. ( or email me if you would like to own it.)

One hundred pieces.

I have finally sold over one hundred pieces off of ebay. Although most of my sales have been through people requesting art through the mail-- ebay is a bit easier for me as I instantly know who gets what art! If you have not got your art yet it is probably because I have ten orders left to fill on monday that we have issues or questions about. If you received art please give me feedback in email so I can hear what you think! I have much work left and will continue to post it to blog and ebay. I am finally painting again and will be in the post office a bit less "come monday." I find it funny that the first person to buy my art after the press in the post never paid and I am happy to keep those two pieces.

Glass Demon

I made this years ago and just got around to framing it. It is a glass carving of a demon from buddhist mythology. I forget the exact name. It is 1/2 inch glass with gold frame. There is no backing in photo so you are see through the glass piece into my yard..it will be backed with a dark backing soon.
