“Earl”

I retouched Earl. He looks better also. 

“Wyatt”

 

I reworked a cowboy I painted in the past. Don’t use paint sparingly, or put canvas under glass.

“Wild Dogs”, a copy

I just retouched a painting I did long ago. Now I’m happy with it. The original was from a Southwestern Art magazine.

“Driving My Life Away” (2014)

I used to love to drive my old truck and listen to my country tapes. Waving to the truckers. Times have changed!! Pencil, 9x12.

            

“Debbie” (2014)

Portrait of my sister. It took some time, but I did it! Oil, 11x14. I'm glad she likes it. 

“The Marlboro Man”

 

I collected all the Marlboro Man ads I could so I could draw them. Quite a lot of ads.

“Cody” (2005)

 

“Boat Tour”, Lake Arrowhead (2010)

 

“Morning Prayers” (2004)

 

“Through the Window” (2004)

 

“Cody in Profile”

 

My cat Cody is very photogenic...

“Cody”

My 10 years old, feline friend. Photo taken between playing fetch, and lap-warming.

”Cody and the Ladybug” (2010)

 

Cody was making chirping noises. Then I noticed something I love— a ladybug!

“Outside My Window” (2010)

 

After the downpour and gray, some color strikes the sky.

”Him and Me on the Porch Swing”

 

Pencil, 2010. I did this drawing while listening to my Ipod and imagining what I would like to have happen...

“Venice Beach” CA (1987)

I love Venice Beach!

“Captured Angel” (1988)

 

Oil. My favorite painting. My reference pictures were two ads in Seventeen magazine . My lady is longing to live in the country, but she can only go there in her imagination. I have the same desire. Dan Fogelberg is my favorite singer from the 70's and his song, "Captured Angel", just seems to be the right anthem and title for the painting.

“Patrick”

 

Acrylic. My parent's lovable irish cat, who does love people, despite the rumors.

“No Madonnas” (1985)

 

Did I say I do not like her? Marker and colored pencil.

“American Indian”

 

Pen and ink.
